Identify this Fish?

[webcricket]

I just saw it on the Drs Foster and Smith website. What is it? Some kind of tetra?

Saltwater Cardinal Fish

That is a saltwater fish . It is a species of Cardinal Fish. Which species, I don't know. But it is certainly not a tetra.

Aw, shucks. I thought I'd finally found a tetra species I liked, LOL.

Thanks!

Yeah. It's a nice looking fish. They do look a lot like tetras. But they don't have the small adipose fin that all tetras have.

I found the species.

It is a "Apogon leptacanthus".

If you look at pictures you can see that it has two dorsal fins. which is a characterisitc of the familiy "Apogonidae".
