Serpae Tetra or not?

[fbabydoll1]

OK I have 2 definate Serpae Tetra's, but the other that was sold to me as one doesnt look like the other two, can anyone tell me if it is a Serpae or not?

the one at the top of the first pick is a livebearer, a platy maybe?

 

[fbabydoll1]

yes, I already know what the rest of my fish are. I just cant be sure if this one tetra is a serpae or not. It looks different than the other two I have.

Not sure if this is their real name or not but I have some like that I bought as Red Phantom Tetra. HTH

I believe it is a red phantom, i have had black phantoms that looked like a replica of that fish, without the red.

Red Phantoms look similar at first.

But the fins of Red Phantoms aren't really the same colors.

Well they are already about an inch to and inch and a half, so I dont know if they would be red phantoms. The one that I am asking about is more of a silver color than the other two that are red.

yes, it may be a red phantom, but there's something else. they looked just like Serpaes, but they called them something else. They had the smaller than black area than normal and intenser color too! If my PetsMart was open, and my dad was willing to take me there right now, I could tell you what they were. sorry.

maybe a red minor tetra

Red Minor is a Serpae...same fish. Both of your fish are serpaes. You simply have a male and a female. The male is on the left.
