	Favourite Tetra?
Wizzard~Of~Ozz Fingerling Posts: 21 Votes: 0 Registered: 31-Dec-2004	1. Congo Tetras (popular I see ) 2. Cochu Blue Tetras 3. Glowlights 4. Neons 5. Serpae sirbooks, I have 14 cochu's, and it's interesting how they flock to a light source when lights go out in the tank, they also sleep at the top of the tank, I've also read they are rare to see as they don't ship well, if you get the chance I'ld recommend them in a heartbeat, tho they don't school, but play tag at high speeds through the tank .

jenbabe256 Big Fish Posts: 316 Kudos: 312 Votes: 10 Registered: 21-Jul-2004	I like bloodfins the best, especially since they stay out most of the time and hang out mostly at the top of my tank, an area that had absolutely no fish in it until I got them.

Actually, I got that name wrong, it should be Bryconamericus. Only trouble is, not every taxonomist regards it as a valid Genus. Sigh. Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002

BruceMoomaw Mega Fish Posts: 977 Kudos: 490 Votes: 0 Registered: 31-Dec-2002	You seem to have a talent for acquiring tetras I've never even heard of. I can only find a couple of passing Web references to "Junior Pandurinis", which tell me nothing about them -- not even what they look like -- except that they're Hyphessobrycons. And I can't find ANY Web reference to ANY fish with the genus name of Bryconamerica, let alone the "Peruvian Sapphire Tetra". Is http://www.geocities.com/mikefjacobs/blueredtetra.jpg by any chance what you're referring to? (I fell in love with this fish the moment I saw its picture, but I have yet to see a live one.)

Calilasseia Ultimate Fish Guru Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003	Ah, yet another 'favourite Tetra' thread. Let's see. In my case, among my favourites I have to list Cardinals, Lemons, Beckford's Pencil Fish, Rummy Noses, Silver Tips, Glowlights (all of which I've kept at one time or another) and the rare but incredibly beautiful Poecilocharax weitzmani. And I think it was Bruce Moomaw who introduced me to a practically luminescent violet species that if memory serves was called Inpaichthys kerri. Lovely fish. Among the others I like are Kitty Tetras, Junior Pandurinis and something called the Peruvian Sapphire Tetra (currently residing under the scientific name of Bryconamerica sp. "peru").
