Unknown tetras

[Jebus]

i bought two tetras that were in the tank across from the bleeding hearts
the lady who worked there didn't know what they were called, and she kept making up the name i can't pronounce
can anyone identify them from this pic

 

[David]

Can't be sure, but it looks to me like a cherry barb, not a tetra at all.

 

[Jebus]

argh, she lied

 

[wrs]

argh, she lied

just because 1 person think so, doesnt mean it is. But I do have a tetra, black phantum, or sepra tetra that looks like that. But its 1 of those twoo. 100 percent possitive.

If you could post a clearer pic I could give you a more positive id... on second thought it may be a tetra because of the elongated anal fin.. can't be sure without a clearer pic though

That looks like a serpae

 

[Wyld-Fyre]

Think its a Serpae Tetra too. It's on my list of fishes I'd like to have.

Actually, here's a link to help you out....

it has that noticable black dot on it's side and the short red white and black fins
