Guyam Tetras?

[Breakthecycle2]

My lfs had some of these guys. They look pretty much identical to black neons, except they are all silver with a black stripe. Anyone know of these guys? I like them.

the only tetra that springs to my mind is
gold tetra Hemigrammus rodwayi
males tend to be gold while females are more silver

 

[Breakthecycle2]

Damn you're good. Im 99% sure thats it, only thing is all 20 of them were all silver for sure, not gold.

 

[The-Wolf]

were they young fish?
the gold colouration dosn't really appear untill the
fish are sexually mature, around 6 months old.

 

[Breakthecycle2]

No so sure about the age, but they were pretty smallish..an inch or less.

Hyphessobrycon scholzei perhaps? Used to be a commonly seen fish in the trade, not seen them for a few years now though.
