Title says Moenkhausia costae. Not too sure if we call it by something else here..
Tried to google the name but couldnt find much info
I believe congo tetras. they can grow quite big. Beautiful gold and sliver body.
I would say Balloon Tetras, I have 5 of them and they are already schooling and they are really cute getting food together, get about 30 of them and see a splendid view!
Neon Tetra!!! been keeping them for years
For me, discus is the best so far=)

neon tetra!!
Discus.. Been keeping it for years even though it's quite a troublesome and costly hobby..
cardinals and rummies for me......
I just bought 6 rummy nose and 6 cardinal tetra. I must say the rummy nose school really well in tight pack and even my otto will join them and school together. The rummy nose love to school at the front bottom portion of my tank. The cardinal looks very nice but keeps wandering around the tank and hide when I go near them.

cute to e max
Came across Pristella Maxillaris or x-ray tetras while shopping for my 1st 2ft planted at seaview.
Got 6 of them and I must say after keeping them for close to 2 months they are amazing.
They school tightly while constantly swimming againt the current.
Colours were not that amazing/outstanding when I initially got them but with time and care, they develop nice yellow/white/black colouration on their dorsal/anal fins plus a red tinge on their caudal fin.
Hi I'm also looking for some Pristella maxillaris. Can I check if the ones you bought from Seaview are the balloon version of Pristella maxillaris?

Very likely they are a balloon variant of the normal Pristella Maxillaris. Let's see what Ken say.
Initially, when I had them little did I know there is such a thing as the balloon version until when I wanted to get more and then it stuck me that they do not look like the images in Google that I remember seeing of the fish.
Intrigued, I searched and learned that they are not naturally occurring. Other than that, very little is known or studied. That is a let-down for me because I do not know whether they are suffering for their birth defect and whether I should acquire more. If only fishes could talk.
They have an unusual antic when they spar each other - trotting side by side like a pair of horses drawing an invincible carriage. How then can anyone put down a fish that is so endearing, so adorable, and so caricature of a stout and jolly beer-belly man?
Yup!! They were the balloon version. Seems like its easier to obtain the balloon version of the pristella these days.
Been around to a couple of LFS and all of them seem to be carrying the balloon version.
Yes!! I've seen that action before but is it related to sparring? Territorial?
Thanks Ken. Looks like LFS only carry the ballon version now.
... always look at the bright side of life
Sparring. A territorial fish will not take to schooling.
Hey joe!
I was down at east ocean yday evening and they had the normal version of the PM tetras!
I didn't count how many but yeah they are all medium sized and looking healthy.
