I stopped into my LFS and I was just browsing around and I stumbled upon a tank in the corner. I noticed they had Harlequinn Rasboras that my friend had just picked up for his tank. I then noticed it had a sticker that said Galaxy Rasboras. These fish are gorgeous. I did not buy any, as I know they are just starting to be commercially bred right now, but man they're beautiful.
 
How big were they in relation to the harliquins? I want to get some "micro" rasboras for my 5 gallon tank. I have googled and there are several species to pick from. I'm trying to narrow the list down!

They max out at about 15-18mm versus 22-24mm for the harlequins.
 
I was recently at a very good LFS in Milwaukee (Hoffers Tropic Life Pets if you're ever in the area), and they were selling Galaxy Rasboras - they seem to have some extremely small ones, but most were of average size (~12mm). Those fish are gorgeous - and I almost bought them :(
