ID: Characidium sp. - darter tetra

[CK Yeo]

Found this recently. Their behavior is more loach than tetra. I am guessing it is Characidium fasciatum. Any clues?

Yup..that should be correct.. i had a few pcs that i got from Japan..
Not exactly my favourite Characidium species..but fun enough...

They are fun alright, really busy fishes, 9 of them in my community tank now.

Same fish? A lone "contaminant" in a tank of tetras. And finally got it to hover.

You dished out a rare find among the tank! It sure looks different in terms of appearance to the first picture.

[ranmasatome]

Nope Different fish..

Its still a characidium...but i dont think its a fasciatum.
I also have one that looks a little like this... they just named it Characidium sp. pantanal.

You still want this fish? if not i want..hahaha..

Noted. You can have it. Not bad for 60cents.
