Hi all,

Its been a while since I posted...my 125g (uk) is up & running, a friend brought me a black widow as a gift last month & today I went out to get 4 more (4 for £5) the chap also gave me a pink fish that looks excatlly he same as no one else would buy it. it looks exactly the same shape but is more livley than the others & is happily exploring its new home while the others are hiding in the corner peeking out from behind a plant... what is she?

I also got another free fish (by mistake - it was in the bag with my puffer fish) its the same size as neon tetras and a similar shape but slimmer, its silver along the top & a little darker on the belly side but has a red tail & a hint of red on the fin on its back - I call him 'bonus ball' if anyone knows what he is again please let me know....

Thank you everyone.....

Anita.

I assume you're discussing the [link=black widow tetra]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/widow.xml" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link]. In which case, yes there is an albino variety that often looks somewhat pink (in some cases the fish are injected with dye to make them more pink, or blue).
Same fish, just albino, however IME they do not school together and if you end up with just one by itself it's likely to be picked on....shop around some you might be able to find a few more friends for it .
