    you can tell its not a tetra by the lack of an adipose fin (most tetra/characins have one). this is in fact the Rasbora dorsiocellata.
    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.

    Are they peaceful or aggressive in a community aquarium?
