Just came across this little guy at a lfs, was an unkown trade in, seems to have gill curl and i felt sorry for him in with lots of larger fish inc 5 inch green terror and neon jewels!

Looks like a buenos aires tetra. Really stressed out.

cheers matey, i think your right, nice size at 2inch and has some mean little teeth, maybe i could put him with my betta? are they aggressive?
 
They are a bit nippy. May nip on the Betta. The only thing that maybe of concern is the gill flare. Could be a sick fish.
