canuckamuck Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 This is a picture of the species of fish most common in the river behind my house. Not much of a sportfish, although the villagers go to great lengths to catch them. They seem to get only to about 20cm long at the most, although I could be mistaken. Mostly they are between 10 and 15cm. Anyhow I would like to learn the name of this fish. Even the Thai name would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 I have discovered it belongs to the class of true minnows (cyprinids), probably a type of rasbora. Still trying to narrow it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
