ID my tetras

[MN_Rebel]

I got four of these blue guys last night as they come in with the danios, however they are not danios but tetra. I dont know what species they are as I cant match these fish to my books. Its not Cochu's blue tetra or Blue emperor tetra. Any one knows what species they are?

Thank you for ID my mystery blue tetra. So they are Cochu's blue tetra after all.

Yep.
I had some a few years ago. Not the best schoolers and appreciative of bigger tanks since they can be a little aggressive toward eachother but no worse than black phantoms or bleeding hearts.

Yeah I lost one from jump out the tank but I still have three and they seems still peaceful towards other species in the same tank (theres doubletail betta). I love their blue color! I will ask my lfs to order more of these blue tetras.
