Darrell Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I picked up 4 of these little guys at a big-box store, and they did not know what they were. Then, at Petco, I found just 1 of them. They too did not know! I've ruled out Bleeding Heart Tetras. Any ideas? Note the block spots on the top fin on some, but not others. They are a great fish. Lot's of fun. Thanks!

Daniel Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Maybe Hyphessobrycon rosaceus the Rosy tetra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickS77 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I've seen these as Peppermint Tetras or Candy Cane Tetra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Definitely Rosy tetra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorydorasEthan Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 27 minutes ago, Darrell said: Sorry. This should work now. Definitely a Rosy Tetra (Hyphessobrycon rosaceus) like @Daniel said. Possibility that it could be a Candy Cane Tetra (HY511 Tetra), like @MickS77 said, although I don't think PetCo carries them, as they are fairly new to the hobby. Also Candy Cane Tetras look a bit different, with more pink and less of a black spot on the dorsal fin. So I think it's a Rosy Tetra. Hope this helps.
