another tetra identification…

[Magnum Man61 175]

this is one of a group of what was supposed to be rainbow tetra juvinals… most ended up being palmeri… and while this one has green eyes like a female palmeri, it’s black along the top, unlike the other female palmeri… thoughts???

Female palmeri. Just with more distinct markings.

I think we need to have a contest where the prize is a digital camera that shoots fast, and then rig the thing so @Magnum Man wins it. Some of these pictures would be great to see.

Hello. Have always loved Tetras. My favorite, by far, are the Buenos Aires variety. Large, hardy, pretty aggressive with other fish and beautiful. Had them for years and they were so easy to breed. Gave them to a friend when my wife and I moved. He runs a very successful fish rehomeing business. But, he decided to keep all of them. I had about 40 in a 50 gallon and 55 gallon tank. We put them all together in a heavily planted, 120 gallon, species only tank. They looked fantastic!
