Seriously Fish has become a reliable source. I can't see whether the new name is a similar species or if the describer of the standard blue tetra made a mistake that was fixed. But, the fish is directly not recommended for Apisto tanks, and I think it might shred angels.
I wanted a little blue, and I got the blues from those boyos. There are not a lot of tetras I dislike, those, lemons and widows will do for that list, but they were nippy.
Pristella maxillaris will eat flake, crumbled in your fingers. They'll graze a lot.
There are 3 species sold as rummy nose, and two have different needs from the third. Did you get a Latin name?
Pristellas are interesting because the industry has an extinction process. They are in that pipeline. When they glofish a species, or create the bleeding heart Pristella with patchy skin colour, new aquarists jump on the novelty, and in many cases, the original wild type, popular for decades, can vanish from the farms. When the pendulum swings back to natural fish (it is a fashion type thing) the wild type is no longer stocked, and it becomes extinct in the hobby. In nature, it is hopefully fine.
I wish experiencd, or interested in nature aquarists would avoid the manipulated fish, but there are very few such aquarists compared to the buyers of glofish or balloons.
