Theresa_M        Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004    | Saw a tank of small fish at a lcs today labelled 'blue red eye tetras'. Maybe 1-1.5", long slim tetra body, grey-silver color with what looked like large blue eyes. I'm not having any luck searching online, any ideas? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |

joe fishy  Fish Addict Posts: 605 Kudos: 1355 Votes: 65 Registered: 21-Apr-2003 | Whenever I see the name 'tetra' on an unknown fish, I figure there's a chance it could be something else. Two fish I've had with bluish eyes are Normans Killifish, Aplocheilichthys normani, and the Green-eyed Rasbora, R. dorsiocellata. Could it be one of those? |

They also had golden wonder killies so this wouldn't surprise me. Drives me nuts when they don't use scientific names ]:| ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |
