Fireball Fish

Hi all. I was at my LFS today and saw these beautiful fish in the tank. They only had 5 left so i got them all. They said they are called a fireball danio or a fireball tetra, they werent sure. These fish are beautiful. 1" to 1.5" long, light bluish bodies, long, red nose and all red fins. They are very active through out the tank. swim very fast all over Seem to chase each other alot but not agressive to others (very similar behavior to zebra danios) a bit taller than zebras and swim all over the tank not just the top. I looked online for fireball danios and for fireball tetras, but could find nothing. can anyone help with an identification. I tried to take a pic by it didnt come out too good. Thank you.

I think they are called red fin danios


Redfin danio:

Resembles a zebra danio with blood red fins. It may be a colour morph of the Orange Finned Zebra Danio `Danio kyathit` * `Maximum length`: 2.5 inches (6 cm) * `Colors`: Blue, silver, red * `Temperature preference`: 20-25 degrees Celsius * `pH preference`: 6 to 7

Is that the one?

Thank you for the reply. I dont think those are them though. I tried to get some pics of them but they are very active. I'll post here. they have a band across their gill area too. very pink n blue. very nice and inexpensive plus fun to watch.

Im not sure what were looking at in the pics as they are quite small, and the Tetra (again, not best image) look similar to ordinary Neon Tetra?

celestial pearl danio? (formerly known as galaxy rasbora)

Yeah, the pics just look like a neon tetra to me. I would have guessed it before but they are rather common. Lol

Columbian tetra?

thank you all, i know the neons are in the pic too, (actually theyre cardinals) but i was not referring to them as the fish in question.

Looks to me to be Red Shiners aka Rainbow Dace....

Think they are coldwater at very most room temp/very low trop, reputation for being very active and pretty nippy...

Other than that, dont really deal with them, had them briefly years ago..

That them!!!!!!!!! thank you very much!

Wow have not seen that name in awhile! Thanks for reminding me about those fish.
