i just seen some in a lfs selling as galaxy tetras, out of pity i bought 5 of them couldn't afford more, they were pale and in a dirty tank..
these guys are getting endangered so i hope i have a couple of females..
they were so uncolored u couldn't tell males from females..
i got them home and they hid and only one male came out and wow he is in full color, i've only seen these in pictures but as soon as he got in clean tank his body turned dark gray and his spots got bright white and his red got redder and he has stripes in his tail that i couldn't see at the store, i've been looking at them for a few days,.. i wich i could afford the rest to get them out of that place, he said he had them for over 3 months, cause he is in a town that is not wealthy nor interested in fish let alone $8.99 a piece
that is so small no one could see them,..
if i didn't know what they were i wounldn't have look a second time..
i just read an article about them in practial fish keeping,..
i hope after they get relaxed that they come out so i can see if i really do have a female.. i think i got 2 of them but they might be intimadated males..
i love the micro fish i have ember tetras and love them,.. i hope these are like them,..hardy and quiet..
