Many have said they're Albino Tetras, but I've scanned the entire internet but haven't found a single picture that is similar to mine. Does anyone know their name, preferably Latin?

I would also appreciate any links or pics or messages posted on the forum (or others) about this species.

Here are three pics...

they do look like albino since they have a red eye color...

I just dont know albinos of which type of tetra are they.

I'll leave it to the experts

How about Albino Buenos Aires Tetra (albino version of Hemigrammus caudovittatus)

Dear Carol,

While these Tetras definitely resemble Buenos Aires and even Red Eye Tetras, I find it a bit interesting that they won't really school with either of them. I have groups of Red Eye, Buenos Aires and Black Widow Tetras in my tank along with these Albinos and I've detected that they all school among each other, which leads me to think they are a different type. Reason being Albino species wouldn't really know they're different in colour than their own species, would they?

Am I making any sense here?

Thanks for your post.

Yes your making perfect sense Tetras school according to shape instead of color and so will usually hang out with whoever is shaped like them.

Just my opinion, but they look like blind cave tetras.......................I have only ever seen them at "That Fish Place" in Lancaster PA.........But what do i know?
