    it doesnt look like a rasbora, think its a tetra .. the whole body is transparent and the tip of dorsal fin has a dash of black and white

    looks like a coffee bean tetra (hyphessobrycon takasei) with a translucent body.[]

    FLORENCE, capital of the region of Tuscany, has a population of around half a million inhabitants, spreads on the banks of the Arno, between the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian seas, almost in the middle of the Italian peninsula. It is a city which bustles with industry and craft, commerce and culture, art and science.

    I think it is a Hi-Spot Rasbora as identified by LeAnn.
    The fish does not have the classic tiny adipose fin that sits between the dorsal fin and the caudal fin. All tetras seem to have that.

    cyprinids dun have teeth. All tetras (characoids) have little teeth. Put your pinky in its mouth to test. []

    save your pinkie, quite definitely a characin.
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.
