 | What kind of tetra is this? |
sugabeatz  Hobbyist Posts: 83 Kudos: 77 Votes: 3 Registered: 12-Mar-2004   | I bought these fish today and they were called x-ray tetras. But they do not look like the picture of the fish on this site, which says they are also called pristellas. Please help?! http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/8414/newfishies8ab.jpg |
