Sophia Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I thought scarlet badis and dario dario were the same. When I saw the rainbow badis at HFF some had exactly the same colouration as my belated scarlet badis and some were much paler but perhaps a bit of iridescent sheen. They looked rather like a scarlet badi that has lost it's colour, maybe due to being the least dominant male. They were exactly the same size, shape etc as what I know to be a scarlet badis, as seen the link in Zev's post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 hmmmm so I know dario dario as scarlet badis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 then again, until about 10 years ago, Dario dario WAS Badis badis, now there something like 10 seperate specie of Badis and Dario hrmmm... now to convince SWMBO that breeding 2cm long fish is a noble goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
