He looks like he is doing pretty good after going through what he did. Nice looking fish.

I don't have Facebook, sadly,

You aren't missing a thing with Facebook. I've been doing a Killifish group there and it's turned out to be a bunch of people sniping at each other making snide remarks and trying to one up each other. The Great TFF Forums are much nicer. Friendly people honestly trying to help each other and have fun at the same time.

Thanks guys! So do you think he is a phantom tetra mix? Usually phantom tetras are all black, that’s why I am asking.

 

[Retired Viking]

He does look like one, I would go with that but I'm no expert.

Looks like a black phantom tetra to me. Generally easy to sex, the females have red fins and the males have black ones

So you’re pretty sure it’s a female?

I don't think tetras hybridize so it's not a mix. Female might be a good guess but you never know. Tetras are really mysterious to me. I don't even know what yours is. I want to say Serpae Tetra but I don't think that's right. I could go look him up on the internet but I want to guess it with my own knowledge. Pretty little fish whatever he is.

Serpaes are the same shape and patterning, but the body is orange rather than black

These are black phantoms https://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/hyphessobrycon-megalopterus/

This looks exactly like it:

And it is a phantom Tetra.
