Craig Coss Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I picked up some Pristella Tetras today and put them into quarantine. Once there, I noticed some have large solid black eyes while some have silver around a much smaller black center. I am concerned they are not all Pristella Tetras. What do you think?

Guppysnail Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I know with guppies the eyes will turn solid black like that when they are displaying for dominance or aggression. Don’t know if your type of fish may be doing that because it new territory for them or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laritheloud Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 https://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/threads/pristella-tetras-with-black-eyes.151411/ found this! Lots of guesses. Could be a cross, could be leucistic form. I find this interesting because they do look slightly different next to the regular pristella tetras.

Colu Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) They are definitely x-ray tetras Edited June 15, 2021 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
