What Kind Of Fish Is This?

[unspoken930]

When I was at the pet store the otehr day getting some fish for my aquarium, I got one fish i didnt ask for but it was mixed in with the Neon Tetras and Harlequin Rasboras. I just took the fish becuase i thought it was pretty, but I have looked up just about every tropical fish online and havent been able to find it. Here is a pic.

It looks like a Thread-fin Rainbowfish (Iriatherina werneri) to me.

They are schooling fish...so is there any way you can get more from your fish store?

Pics are there and I've seen these in my local lfs and they are very nice if you can buy a bunch together.

It's deffinatey a threadfin rainbow and, like you've been told, as they are schooling fish, either get some more or return it.

That definately a threadfin rainbow. I used to have one, they stay very small and are kind of hard to feed, only eat tiny things and should be kept in groups of at least 5. Very cool looking when they flare there fins
