Okay - so I've gotten some new oddballs.... Maybe I'm going to end up giving Oddball a run for his money? YEAH RIGHT!

But anyways, here goes - 5 of these little fellahs. They are pretty crazy looking.
I know what they are (Labeled - as long as it was correct) but let's see if you guys can get it right!

Sorry for the crappo pics... somebody should sell me their camera cheap! :) At least if only to see my fish :)

By the way - I JUST got them - they have extremely red gill areas. I'm thinking the water was pretty bad at the wholesaler.

Never seen them. Very interesting. Give us some info.
 
They reminded me of some tetras my mom used to have.
 
Okay...
You guys want info? If you think it'll help... heh...

They are active swimmers, but shouldn't be (normal behavior for this family is bottom level dwellers) Normal fish in this family are more stocky than elongate like these.

12 inches max size (or so?)

They will stop, near a surface, and lunge forward really fast, doing a hard scrape, to eat whatever they can scrape up...

Now, keep on guessing :)
 
hhhhmmmmm, one quick question tho, have you updates your sig yet? ;)
