Blushing Whiteskirt Tetras

[matt1713]

I went to petsmart and they had these "blushing white skirt tetras" they looked very cool but different from regular white skirts. They were red in front and had dark beady eyes. So are these the same?

 

[afishdude]

cross breed bwetween neon and glass tetra

WTF? a neon tetra and a glass tetra look absolutly nothing like a whiteskirt tetra.

 

[K.J.]

Correct me if I'm wrong - but I was under the impression that two fish of the different genuses (I think it's genus?) cannot crossbreed - glass tetras being Moenkhausia oligolepis and neons being Paracheirodon innesi.

 

[grimmy]

well im not sure if it was neons but i know for sure its has some glass tretas

 

[afishdude]

neons are pretty noticable, they look nothing like any other tetra except the cardinal tetra.
