Can You Please ID My Tetras
Greetings. I hope that this is allowed in this section. I have been unable to get a species name for this fish. I know that many of the people here keep many species other than cats. They have started spawning, so I'd like to start raising them. Anyone have any idea what they actually are??? Cheers. - Frank

Re: Can You Please ID My Tetras
That is an awesome looking tetra. But I can't say I have ever seen them before. I hope you get lots of fry so they start showing up in the hobby more!

Re: Can You Please ID My Tetras
There's a fish sold as Inpaichthys sp. "blueberry" which looks much like that.

Re: Can You Please ID My Tetras
Hmmm. Well, I don't do much measuring, but they are definitely on the upper end of most tetra species. Almost as large as the last Congos that I kept, if that helps at all.nvcichlids wrote:Wow! How big are these?

Re: Can You Please ID My Tetras
They look amazing and I would never have picked them for congo size. I wonder if they are available down here.
Great photo's by the way.

Motorcycles are not an expensive hobby, try keeping L-cats in Australia

Re: Can You Please ID My Tetras
I guess I should try to measure one. Who knows how mature my Congos were for comparison?Firestorming wrote:They look amazing and I would never have picked them for congo size.
Kinda rare. I only know of a handful of people keeping them.I wonder if they are available down here.
Thanks. I'm happy with the female shot, but still working to get a better one of thhe male. He was not the most intensely colored in the tank, but they are quite active and never slow down. Cheers. - FrankGreat photo's by the way.

Re: Can You Please ID My Tetras
I would love to acquire a small school of these for myself (perhaps ten). Please let me know if you spawn any for sale or know of a retailer selling them. Thanks
