Help identify new fish please? New 55g tank

They're gone.
No ill will, they're animals... just sad about my two dojos and the one black skirt. I thought I did my homework, should've read more and asked here first.

Can you get red phantom tetras (Hyphessobrycon sweglesi)? They are similar to serpaes but without the reputation.

I'll look for them around the stores. I have both chains and local stores around me, but they all seem to stock more or less the same fish.

I just found out that there is some sort of hobby club that meets monthly in the local aquarium, I'm going to join that.

I've been thinking for a while of moving the 12 neon tetras and 6 cory I keep in the 29g tank to the 55g. Effectively decommissioning that tank.. I'd move the plants and deco too. Maybe later on.

Image-searched for these... the bottom right is a serpae, isn't it?

Yes.

Searches often give pictures of the wrong fish. I've noticed that if a fish name is between two photos searches often attach the name to the wrong photo.

The best site for research is Seriously Fish. While written details are sometimes out of date, the photos on there are for the right fish.

Long ago and far away, I spoke at the Boston Aquarium Club, at the New England Aquarium. They were really nice people, very welcoming, and the club was first rate. Go. You won't regret anything but trying to get parked.
