    best bet is check RVA site. second one does not look like Axelrodi though.
    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.

    First fish looks really familiar. Hemigrammus ulreyi?

    If I guessed this correctly, do I get a prize, e.g. a few pieces of this fish FOC?

    looks really similar, in any case it has no name.

    Quixotic.. i think you may be right on both accounts.. these fishes were too expensive to buy.. thats why take fast picture..lol.

    By the way Choy.. while looknig thru RVA... guess what i found.
    Remember the fish that died along with the B.axelrodia???
    Well... check this out...I found it..

    Told you swee right?? oh and tonight.. while i was changing scape and aquarium... the Hyphessobrycon epicharis jumped out to its death.
    So really nothing left... hiaz... my pocket hole now very big!!
