this fish normally has constantly flared fins, how come yours so sad-looking?
One of the characins without the adipose fin.
Thought it was some uncommon fish when I first saw it until someone told it is sold very cheaply at Seaview (as usual).
Heard that it is a fin nipper 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.

I suspect it must be a solo specimen. Hence the 'sad' look.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
I actually have 4 specimen in the tank. But there is one dominant one which chases the rest all around. Don't know why also.
I think the LFS name for it is 'Lemon Tetra'.
Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
Nope, lemon tetra is Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis..

This fish IS a nipper. I can tell you that much. Kept nipping the fins of my rummynose tetras. It is a nice-looking characin, but not one I'd keep for now.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
I agree. Even own species already nip like crazy. Can imagine putting with other fishes.
They are now by themselves in a betta barrack.
To me, its really a very 'naughty' fish. Caused my other tetras to exercise till they die... especially when the group of silver tetra is rather large. They're fine when there's only about 5% of the tank population. Very bad and expensive experience with them when at 1st I didn't know they're the cause of my other fish's sudden death.
