Congos

[Biulu]

I bought 6 congo tetras when young and they all turned out to be females, so now I added another 4 young ones, hoping that I would get some males.

One of the fish is now showing the typical 'triangle' at the tail fin, but has no colours whatsoever! He is about 4 cms from head to toe at the moment. Am I having a 'white' variety or will colours start showing later?

Why is a thread about Tetras in the African cichlid section?

You are right! I think I got confused because of the african... I have now posted a video in the tetra section. It was impossible to take a proper picture of this lad...

OK.
I also find it impossible to picture my Congo Tetras, they just never stop moving. Very frustrating

Same here, but at the same time that is some of the charm of this fish; constantly on the move.... I never get bored seeing them.

I know, very charming, and they shoal very well. Its only when its picture taking time when you think 'omg, I so wish these fish were paralyzed!'
