Dwarf Tetra Species Question

[fishyfishface]

I'm thinking of adding some tetras to my 35 litre tank to make it more exciting.


I think I remember once seeing a species of dwarf tetra in the dish shop that they said was called something like 'cherydon' - it looked like a dwarf neon or cardinal tetra. However, I can't find such a type of tetra on the internet. Can anyone help me out - have I made all this up in my head or does such a fish exist?!

Thanks

Could it have been a Paracheirodon simulans ? Common names are Green Neon Tetra or False Neon Tetra,

Thanks for the reply. Yes I found out that's the one. I'm going to get some of them next weekend - excited to get my first tetras!

No problem, never had them but they look a lovely fish.
