Tetras Tetras Everywhere!

[Arashi]

I love my Tetras. I have 5 different kinds and I want so many more. My list right now is Serpae, Silvertip, Head and Tail Light, Cardinal, and Bloodfin. I'm hoping to add Rummynose, Diamond, Pristella, and Lemon to that eventually, as well as any others I may come across that catch my eye.

I realized I never showed off pics of my Cardinals and Bloodfins so I started taking pics, then I just went around and started taking pics of all of them. So here are all my Tetras in one place! Enjoy!

We'll start off with the Serpaes. This is one of my "normal" ones.

And this little guy is my "damaged" Serpae. I know the pic is a bit fuzzy, but you can see he's missing a big part of his dorsal fin. He's also noticeably smaller than the other two. Thats because the other two beat the crap out of him a few months ago. But he bounced back and is now as good as new.

Next up are the Silvertips. These guys are as hard to photograph as Danios.

...and with a Serpae.

Here's a Head and Tail Light...again with a Serpae.

And the three of those types together, with a small Clown who decided to be a little stinker and get in on the picture taking fun.

Now for the Cardinals.

This is little guy dosen't play well with the others. He's always alone, so I've been calling him the Lone Ranger just for fun.

And the other Cardinals... "You can't see us! We're hiding!"

 

[Arashi]

And here are the Bloodfins. These guys are even harder to photograph then the Silvertips, as they are very shy, but this was the best pic I could get of a lone one.

All huddled together under their favorite plant.

"You can't see us either...we're hiding too!"

 

[Arashi]

And finally, the Cardinals and Bloodfins all shoaling together. They do this alot.

Great pics! Your tetars are very colorful! I love your Serpae tetars! They're absolutely gorgeous!!

 

[Arashi]

Thanks Sasha! I like the Serpaes too. I just wish I could get a better pic of them...they look so much more amazing in real life. I'm really liking the Bloodfins too...they are nutty little fish.

Those pictures are really good, your fish look great.
A friend of mine up in Michigan just told me he bought some bloodfin tetras, I was wondering what they looked like, your pictures are the first I've ever seen, what a kewl fish.


I just love tetras!!!

BryanG and -cAtFiSh- - Thanks so much! The Bloodfins are really great, and they look amazing in a shoal. My only gripe with them is that they are a bit shy, and tend to hide in the back behind the driftwood or plants when there is a lot of activity in the room.

Sorrell and freshmike - Thanks! I really like that one too.

Chooklet - Then get some...they are really great fishies. And when they color up...man do they look awesome!
