Anyone know what this fish is? I had a few sold to me as "garnet tetras" but I think that's usually used to refer to something else. I just called them my "tuxedo" guys because of the white and black tail spots - mine all had two larger white blotches split by a black spot. They have a longer anal fin that gets a gorgeous reddish tinge in as they mature (prob only in the males but I only had three to compare), and the anal and dorsal fins both have a white tip. Really striking. Here's some more pics that I could find that look like the ones I had: 1, 2. They both call them garnets but mine looked different than most I've seen with that name.
How about these? It's listed on a few sites as a Hemigrammus rodwayi. I think this one is the same sp. too, though I also have a few that look like this that I'm fairly certain are something else, maybe H. levis. Here's another picture of what I think is H. levis. I might have those two switched... I'm not a systematist, by any means!
Feel free to add your own "what tetra am I" links here too... I'm always looking for cool tets and good to find out about new ones!
