Re: Del Rio Tetra

OK here's a picture of one... I know it's blurry, but it's the best I could get so far... little suckers just won't slow down!!!
They're very pretty, maybe 1" long, sort of a copper red color in front, black back half. Anyone know what it is?

 

I don't think that is a tetra, it looks like a Harlequin Rasbora.

 

yup, that's what it is... should have known the LFS would get it wrong

 

Almost tetras have an adipose fin and that one doesn't

OK, and what is an adipose fin? I looked at the fish anatomy chart and didn't see it ???

 

It's the little tiny, tiny fin that is on top behind the Dorsal Fin but in front of the tail. And Butterfly, the reason it doesn't have one is because it's a Rasbora ;D

 

All catfish also have that fin.

I'm pretty sure that it isn't a catfish either

I was just throwing that out there. But I think you know what I mean.

;D Knew what ya meant... was just messing with you

 

From our new dictionary https://www.fishlore.com/fishdictionary/a.htm#adiposefin
Your exactly correct that's why it doesn't have one
