oooh.. sometimes its hard to understand things as they were meant online.

edit.. I bought 4 more silver dollars today.. so I think I'm all stocked up. Serpae tetras were 3 for $2 but I decided to go with silver dollars to be ''safer'' I guess. not much of a chance they will be killed.

Hemigrammus bleheri is the firehead tetra;
"true" rummynoses are Hemigrammus rhodostomus
and then there are false rummynoses Petitella georgiae

like mostall here what you think is a rummynose is actually a firehead

I do agree with that.
Although I have seen rummynose used to describe them too in various places. As I said, common names can sometimes be confusing and often innacurate. I've been calling them rummynose of late, not many people seem to know what fireheads are. And Hemigrammus bleheri, well, let's just say I gave in and got tired of explaining it.
