I bought these two a year ago and forgot the name. Can’t find the name anywhere online. I want to do more research about them so I can take care of them better

Welcome to AC! They are redtailed rasboras, rasbora borapetensis. I love them! Very underrated fish. If you have room add several more, they're schooling/shoaling fish.

You look to have a nice planted tank, what size is it? We'd like a full tank shot if you can please.

Thanks for responding! I just finished a new aquascape! It’s a 20 gallon on my dresser

Thanks! That looks nice, especially the lush crypt! Your water seems cloudy, is it?...Does sunlight come in the back? A background can help if that's the case.

Yeah there’s a mirror behind there since it’s a dresser. Or it could be a little fluorite dust in the water I just finished a few hours ago.

Think about a dark background, even a trash bag works or poster board. The mirror will "almost, sorta" double any sun...& may cause algae or other trouble. I've only used Flourite once & it wasn't new then. It could also be the camera highlighting that cloudiness. I'm not into taking pics, wrong hobby, lol.

Alright I’ll probably get a black board to put behind there or something. I just re did the aquascape. It looked kinda mediocre before bc I rushed it. Also not sure about the cloudiness, hopefully it’ll settle down.

How did I miss the big angel? It looks like you rearranged again? Except for the big crypt...Please pick out those red substrate bits soon-ish, they're very distracting, lol.

Hahaha there’s too many red pieces I accidentally mixed from my old substrate. I’m too lazy to get them out but will eventually.
