Stuffed clear full of Moina, but still right up to the glass mooching food. LOL They are getting good size for 5 week old Danio choprae.

I was a little surprised at the photos considering they are in pea-soup green water. LOL

Thanks Scott.

These fish have an interesting history. They were first described in 1928 by the Indian ichthyologist, Sunder Lal Hora. He named the fish after the collector, Dr B. N. Chopra. It was then over 70 years, 2003 to be exact, before any where exported for the aquarium trade. They are tough as nails and Practical Fishkeeping, the worlds largest aquatic hobby magazine, lists then as one of the ten best fish for beginning hobbyists.
