	New Tetras
Doedogg Banned Posts: 408 Kudos: 737 Votes: 445 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	I got my aquabid winnings today . They were sold to me as Hyphessobrycon tino but from what little I can find they are also known a Hyphessobrycon pandurini. It seems (from reading) that the males have red fins and the females have yellow. I'll get some pics of them as soon as they get acclimated. I used to be Snow White, but I drifted. ~ Mae West

They are seriously desirable over here in Europe right now! Trouble is, getting them in my neck of the woods is a tad problematic at the moment ... as is usually the case with the seriously desirable fishes (sigh). If they're the same fish that I saw photographed by Erwin Schraml as the "Junior Pandurini", then they're gorgeous little fish ... and what's more, they stay small as adults too - I hear they're not much bigger than Ember Tetras fully grown (unless someone has grown them bigger by now).

Either way, I got 5 red finned and 1 yellow (who didnt look like it was doing too well when I checked on them yesterday). Three of the red finned ones really colored up beautifully and are quite stunning. I used to be Snow White, but I drifted. ~ Mae West

Mine dont have as much red or yellow on the tail fins,mostly the dorsal, anal and pelvic fins. I used to be Snow White, but I drifted. ~ Mae West
