Almost looks like it, but the head is different. If he would hold still, I would try andd get a better pic. But the last one took me a half hour to get

 

[paige]

lol when i got my first tank about two years ago it was second hand the previous owner said nothing was in it and when i cleaned it out in the filter i found a neon lol and under the gravel i found a yellow and black worm thing and later discovered it was a coolie loach lol. they both survived and are in my dads tank now lol

All Tetras are charicans (Egg-Layers)

 

[nitro]

it looks like a pygmy cory to me.

When i saw the pic i thought it was a pygmy or an emperor tetra.

If it has barbels then i think it definatley looks like you have a pygmy.

yer it looks just like one of my pygmy cories, cept you cant see the fins properly- unless all pygmies are tetras?!

no, they're catfish. unless that was a joke, lol.

It does look like that as well. Is it always on the bottem of the tank? Or does it swim all over.

and does it have a flat bottem or roundish?

 

[twinsmom]

It usually swims all over the tank alongside the tetras, he is half their size. It has a roundish bottom, and today I noticed he has an iradescent stripe above the black one. BTW my tank was brand new when I got it. There is no possible way my tetras had it right. (I mean could they have laid eggs, and this mutation popped out? I know stupid question, just tryin to figure out where the little thing came from and what to do for it to keep it healthy

 

[wrs]

What kind of tetras? They could have laid eggs and one survived, hatched, and grew up, and there it is.

 

[twinsmom]

They are neon tetras. Is it possible that's what he is?

 

[Discus man]

emporer tetras have long bottom fins with diff colours.

 

[Fella]

Penguin Tetra? Not sure about the tail though...

 

[UBigBobby]

I say emperor tetra

 

[FrankSlapperinni]

Although they're fairly rare, could it be the African One-line tetra (Nannaethiops unitaeniatus)? They are mostly clear with a black line and have a very streamlined torpedo like body. Maybe he could have come in with an order of live plants (If you have any).
