So the other owner of the 180L community tank is a terrible impulse buyer of fish and picked up some new fish today. He also has an annoying habit of not remembering what the fish are called.

From what I've worked out I think they might be Hyphessobrycon bentosI (Bentos Tetra), but I'd like some opinions from more knowledgable fishy folk if I may?

The pictures are from shortly after adding them, so I'm not sure they've fully coloured up yet.

You're correct, the first pic looks to be a Candy Cane Tetra. The second looks to be a Gold Ram

Awesome, they look cool. Yes, Nancy the Gold Ram is a rampant photo-bomber
 
Can triple confirm, those are H.bentosi! I have some of these, they'll color up really nice and are super entertaining once they settle in!

Thanks everyone, apparently my local LFS doesn't get them in that often and I have to admit I've not seen them before in any of the other of the stores I visit either.
 

Random Great Topic!
