what is the name of this tetra?

Oh! They are cute! Rather like the big sad-eyed children in art. Definately not a neon tetra variety.

Is IMCL85 still around?

Ahh they doesn't looks like killies shape. They have neon tetra kind of body and have a glowing eye.

Basically the same as neon, but only a spot of blue instead of streak.

Thx RedShark. That second picture is absolutely the one I was referring to, also.

Congrats! IMCL85! You have a very nice little guy. They are lovely schoolers, too small to do much damage with their little pirhana mouths, seldom do even a little bickering, and easy to keep. They show up nicely even in a big tank. In a large enough group, about 12, they will drift like a little cloud. They will possibly join your cardinals. I really like mine--although I may like the little green neons more when combined with them. I have had mine, bought in two groups, for six months. They have changed tanks three times. One got dropped, and I didn't find it until it was too late. I was careless ) but even though I am a true newbie, none have died of natural causes, even in an outbreak of ich.

By the way I was wondering, are you French Canadian?
