I'd like to see a photo of one of those. I searched, but wasn't able to find one.

Google says that they're also known as "bento's white tip tetra" or "false rosy tetra" ... if so, pretty :) but doesn't seem to be much info on them either... at least, not in my very brief search...

$9 seems a bit steep. The Petsmarts around here sell those guys for $4 or so. Mine were always very community-friendly. I had them in with cories and other tetras and dwarf cichlids. The adults turn a beautiful pink color and they keep their white tipped fins. The males were about 1.5" and the females were slightly larger. My males always displayed at each other, which was nice to watch.

The name sounds more like a make-up name.
Pictures will help better than the descriptions. If it's indeed bentosi, they better stick to the proper name.;)
