Looking for the Ruby tetra.. any idea which LFS have stock? like the way they swim and hunt for food.. and the super ruby red colour

I think Polyart sells them during the weekend in bags of 20

Try Biotope. Saw them there end december.
Do not confuse them with the ember tetra, they look alike. One good indication is price, usually more than $1SGD

Saw some in Midori...The differences will be the black line at the caudal fin area (ember tetras don't have them)

I've tried looking for ruby some time back, maybe last year but so far no luck. Amber tetras however are some new tetras that i see Colorful brought in sometime in sep.

? uroph and briggittae are about the same in pricing. Both are either 0.80 each or 1 bag 100x is about $6 i think. But the only LFS that supplies these amount is only seaview. Getting from y618/c328/colorful however does have better breeds and you can pick male from the females.

Ember tetra is slightly smaller than ruby tetra,but its not very obvious.

A. riesei and Hyphessobrycon amandae grow up to +- 2.5 cm SL. There is really not a lot of differences in their size. If you are seeing something that is much larger...
