Hi Dave, They are Glo-Light Tetras that have been Dyed. The Flourescent Orange Line Gives it Away.

They look like std glowlight tetras to me.
psgill00; where are you getting the idea that they are dyed?

Ummmmm

Since when do Glo-Lights have brown and Orange Stripes

I Have Noticed that they are Dying Glo-Lights More Recently.

Injecting them with Lots of Different Dyes.

They look Really Sad when the Dye Starts to leak and it looks like they have been Bleeding

What do you mean by "std Glowlight tetras"

the orange strip is a more golden colour on those compaired to my normal glowlights....

What kind of gourami is that ?

Does it like to jump ?

 

[Lateral Line]

The fish is Hyphessobrycon heterorhabdus, not dyed, and most commonly known as the "Belgian Flag Tetra". Lovely.

>>> What kind of gourami is that ?

The gourami is Trichopsis pumilus, a "Sparkling Gourami".

>>> I've only got 3 at the moment

Err, 1-2-3-4-5.....

 

[Dave_31]
