I ordered 6 chile rasboras which were delivered yesterday. Without a heat pack :( The lone survivor was very stressed alone in my 5g so I put it in with my CPDs and it's fine now.

Quite difficult to get a good quality pic with them zooming around but can anyone tell if this is actually a chile or some other type? I'd like to eventually get it some friends.

It's really hard to tell since it has very little colour. Probably due to the fact that it was quite stressed during transport. Is that a blue stripe? I would wait a few days and maybe post a pick if it colours up. Since most of the micro rasboras are the same shape it's very hard to tell until it shows more colour.
 
Is the anal fin red? It may be Sundanio axelrodi, even stressed chilis should show some kind of pattern.

I'm still trying to get better pictures but it's settled in nicely with the CPDs, always zooming around the tank. I won't give up though!
 
I really think it's S. axelrodi
