    i bought 6 fish today under this name, has anyone got any pix of them for me to compare with my fish,
    i will post some pix of them when they settle down, but at the moment they are a bit nervous, so choy or benny you must have some shots of them.
    thanks in advance , mick

    Cheers,
    Nope not really rare.. just dont see it often in Singapore...

    Anyway Mick.. i think they are now classified under hyphessobrycon ..
    Your fish shop might have got it mixed up... i was confused for like 2 mins when you posted..but these are the only H. amapaensis i know.

    no, the authors name are not parenthesised so the genus was never changed.

    congos are from Africa so they were never Hemigrammus.

    heres an update , have spawned them on the first try, had no problems which makes me think they are easy spawners, another thing the eggs are not light-sensitive, and a 99% hatch rate, look forward to seeing them develope, will take some pics when they are big enough.
    cheers
