    Ranma, looks like a Hyphessobrycon, your fishes has coloured up and the three blue-lined ones looks like one female, 2 males (assuming thick body means female). Here you can see a pair.

    The other fish (3pcs) with a round caudal spot is in very bad condition, all their caudals are misshapened due to past injuried and looks horrible in close-up.

    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.

    well i presume thats what happens when you stuff them in a desert tub for 5hrs or more.. they seem to like to have a go at each other..haha..

    These are actually from different tanks.. the large one was from the low tech.. the other 2 smaller ones are from the small plant storage tank upstairs. Maybe could be geographic disparity..hahahaha..

    Anyway.. i think the stripes can change to yellowish yah?

    stripe can change colour meh? I think is more likely lighting and ray incidence, you know all these characins the scale change colour depending on light penetration.
