Can anyone identify this fish??? http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...hhhhhhh041.jpgI bought 3 of these fish. They were sold to me as penguin tetras. After some investigation I'm certain they are not. They are a schooling fish. Here are some pictures, if anyone knows what they are please let me know. thanks. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...hhhhhhh030.jpg http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...hhhhhhh026.jpg http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...hhhhhhh037.jpg |
Hey, No They Arent Penguin Tetra's, You Were Right There!! I think They Are Pencil Tetra's. |
2 Attachment(s) No, definitely not the popularly-named Penguin tetra. I would suggest they are Rasbora einthovenii commony known as the Brilliant Rasbora. Here are a couple of photos. |

well the closest I can come to what this fish could be is. either a (blue emperor tetra.) or the one lined african tetra. the stripe goes past the eyes on the emperor. |
No, definitely not Emperor tetra! Emperor has a light blue area above the black area and that area is much larger. Byron got it. |
I just coudnt find any closer looking, in the fish book, so I dont have any other ideas. |
My brilliant rasboras have red in their caudal fin and black line does not go through the eye.......Not sure if they are a brilliant rasbora...........Maybe the fish i have arent brilliants.........I would lean towards some type of pencilfish |

Byron, no my brilliant rasboras arent the ones pictured...........I understand the difference in diet, habitat can have an impact on the coloring of the same species fish, but the fish pictured is different than my brilliants.....(if that is what i have)..........Mine do not have the coloring on the edge of the scales, like the one pictured, plus miine have more goldish foil above the black line.........None of mine have the black line continue thru there eyes to the lips......I still think the pictured fish is some type of pencilfish |
