harlequin rasboras

[OrandaMan]

Giving away six harlequin rasboras (a couple of them are of the lambchop variety - quiet, Nick). Nice color with one female full of eggs. Must pick up (near 290 and 610).

Reply here or PM. Whichever.

What do you mean by "lambchop variety?"

The regular harlequin rasbora has the black triangle, of course. On lambchop harlequins, the bottom line is curved a little upwards and the top a little downwards, shaping it more like a lambchop. You have to really pay attention to notice it and that's the only difference.

Hey the harlequin rasbora is Trigonostigma heteromorpha, the lamb chopr rasbora is actually different it is Trigonostigma hengeli

Responded in the other thread.

They might not be Harlequin Rasboras. The name, "lambchop", is commonly used for Espe's Rasboras or Hengel's Rasboras. They are all excellent fish for a community tank and are easily confused for each other.

From the pictures, I'm fairly certain they're all harlequins because they have the red tint. The other pictures don't show a red tint.

Actually, after looking over the Internet at heteromorphas, I'm a little more sure now that that's what they are. It appears that the imperfect triangle is more common than I thought.
