It’s not completely unusual, but I got confused last night… a Tetra, looks like a Barb…

[Magnum Man]

I’ve seen these Barbs listed before… Oreichthys crenuchoides

Saw these Tetras listed last night… Crenuchus spilurus

and they aren’t the same species, yet look pretty close…

Oooh , oooh , oooh ! I’ve seen those in the Innes Book . Chrenuchus spilurus according to the classification of 1956 . Male 4 inches , female 3 inches . Not a good community tank fish . The males dorsal fin does not come into its full splendor until he is over 2 1/2 inches and two or three years old . Dr. Innes describes beautiful mosaic like markings in the fins of a rich , deep orange . Also , apparently , a rather long lived fish that is easily fed .

Convergent evolution is a cool thing
