Hi all, sorry if this isn't the right place.

I'm getting mixed reviews on my Black Phantom Tetra. It's certainly more red than the rest of the group but doesn't seem to match that of a serpae or red phantom tetra. It's black side marking is also different from a red phantom tetra, whose marking seems to be more round.

Could it just be a female? I read they are more red.

it is a female black phantom, the little bright red fin is the main difference between the sexes
 
Glad she is not a different type of fish, then.

I feel sorry for her then because I think she's the only female (basing this on the red fin). All my others are completely black. And I didn't see any redish ones at the store when I went to get more. :(
 
Great, thanks guys. Feeling more reassured now. :good:

After some research I was figuring she was just a female but wanted to double check here with people more knowledgeable than I! :lol:
