Blue Eyed Dart fish!!!!!

michael_cb_125 · 08-02-2008, 11:51 AM

Since I am having to downgrade tanks, I am looking at some smaller fish. here is what I found. I LOVE these two fish.

First: Tryssogobius colini (Blue Eyed Dartfish)
I have never even heard of these until very recently. They are soooo cool

How cool would a school of these be?!!!!!!

Also I like these little cardinals: well I am having a difficult time getting a picture. They are the tiny ones that are clear and have a red dot on the tail.

Anyways, has anybody here ever had either og these fish, and how much do they cost?

Is that not the COOLEST fish ever?!!!!!!!
They are also known as the "tiny dartfish"
I have done some research, they are one of THE smallest dartfish.
Pearl white with blue eyes......so cool

I have asked a few people who have connections to check into these fish for me.

The Blue Gudgeon Dart is a totally different species. They can reach almost 6 inches.

The Apogon parvulus only reach 1" I want a school of like five. I cannot find them anywhere. I spoke with someone who said that we (US) hardley ever see them.... Guess where they go..........Japan (they have the best stuff)

The Parvulus is the red dot cardinal 1"

The Tryssogobius colini is the blue eyed dart. 1"

Awesome looking little fish!! Those are also called Tiny Dartfish. I don't have any idea where to get one though.

sambrinar · 08-02-2008, 12:21 PM

Yep I see that is different, I found the one your talking about, but like you, search came up empty. Bummer. they are very cool. I wonder why Japan.

thank for the reply FINALLY JK

sambrinar · 08-02-2008, 12:25 PM

Ohhh they are found by Hainan Island, China and Taiwan, maybe too far to ship here.
