It's not a red phantom tetra, but it is something in the genus Hyphessobrycon. The closest I can think of is a serpae or a flame tetra, but even those don't look right. The colors in the dorsal and caudal fins are what don't quite match, since they are both red most of the way through. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	It's Hyphessobrycon roseus, a relatively uncommon species in stores, and not to be confused with Hyphessobrycon rosaceus (the Rosy Tetra). I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
