yes for sure it is a characin, it has the adipose fin, and it does look like a Characidium. technically characidium is not in the "tetra" group I think, but I have to check Géry. but then its just a common name, no big deal.

Was surfing and came across this, is this really a tetra? Uncle choy, Ranma care to explain furthur...http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_characidium.php
Something about the water & the fishes that calms me down.

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.

Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
Yes... i've been looking out for the Characidium sp. since i got back from Canada.. that is about 3 years aleady and the only time i saw one was when Ben was located next to KS...in his show tank.. a few weeks later.. it was gone....
Choy.. Characidium sp. is common name meh? whats the scientific name then?
Never create what you can't control
Tetra is a layman term for fishes from the Characidae family. Characidium spp. belongs to the Characidae family. So to the layman, they are tetras.

Huh? Common name is not darter tetra meh?
Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
I think Choy means to say that "tetra" is a common name used for these kind of fishes..
I misunderstood and thought he was mentioning that Characidium is a common name... i thought that was damn weird.
Yes, commonly known as darter tetras....
Have you seen them behave in the aquarium?? OMG.... i sooooooooooo love them.
there was a few Characidium on and off, especially from Choon Sua.
