Id My Tetra

[Assaye]

Seen these at work. Can't find a picture online and I'm not allowed to photo the tanks, so I'll describe.

Imagine a neon tetra. Now remove all the blue and olive green and replace with frosty white, leaving the red stripe.

What are these?

not a glo light tetra is it?

 

[Gill]

not a glo light tetra is it?

agree stressed glo-light, or lutino neon or possibly gold neon

The only other things i can think of is
Aphyocharax Paraguayensis
Astyanax kennedyi
Astyanax bimaculatus
Hemigrammus bellottii
Moenkhausia ceros
Pristella maxillaris

 

[Assaye]

None of those, guys.

Definitely not a stressed glowlight. Thinner body shape. We've had them in for weeks and they've been a consistent colour all the time.

The red stripe is very bright, just like on a neon. The rest of the body is uniformly a pale frosty colour with no other stripes or markings.

I think I found them!

Says it's a green fire tetra. Does anyone know if there are quite uncommon?

hehe i was going to say the< Rathbun's Bloodfin<Aphyocharax rathbuni but these usually have a greenish tinge to them....They are a stunning little tetra from south america maxing around 2inch..havent seen them alot round these parts

Yeah, they are pretty rare here too. I haven't seen one in person at all, and I don't think I've seen any on aquabid either.

Might have to grab some, then. Stunning little fish!

Not sure where I'd put them, though. I reckon the krib would probably eat them
