	Tetra Checklist
Calilasseia Ultimate Fish Guru Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003	This page purports to be a checklist of all known members of the Family Characidae. At least, those that have been described. The "Tetra geeks" (and I count myself as one ) might like to peruse this list Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002

Even so, it'll do for the time being. At least it'll give everyone a list of names to use for Googling purposes. Just think - nearly 100 species of Hyphessobrycon alone. Wow. Enough for several lifetimes' worth of study I would have thought. Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002

kkens Big Fish Posts: 346 Kudos: 67 Votes: 36 Registered: 26-Jul-2000	Here is a similar list from fishbase, with links to brief descriptions. http://fishbase.org/Nomenclature/FamilySearchList.cfm?famcode1=102&famcode2=&Group=species Link doesn't work any more, must of broke it If you go to fishbase.org and scroll down the page there is a place to choose the family and get a list.
