 | unknown tetra |
damien3 Small Fry Posts: 9 Kudos: 8 Votes: 0 Registered: 21-Jul-2004   | I have a book about fish and there is a picture of a tetra in it that looks just like a diamond tetra but solid green (of course with the beautiful shimmer that diamonds have). The book, however. does not identify this fish other than that it is a tetra. Does anyone know this fish? |

| damien3 Small Fry Posts: 9 Kudos: 8 Votes: 0 Registered: 21-Jul-2004 | unfortunately, that's not it. This fish looks like someone took a diamond tetra and dyed it green. In the picture it isn't irradescently green but solid green. It is the most beautiful fish I have seen. |

| damien3 Small Fry Posts: 9 Kudos: 8 Votes: 0 Registered: 21-Jul-2004 | there are no accompanying details. In the book, in the section that describes tetras, there is a heading that says tetras and other caracinths (or something like that) and underneath that there is a reference to all the pages that a picture of a tetra can be found. The picture of this fish looks as if something dyed a diamond tetra green. |
