Please help me to identify what fish this is:)

Does anyone know what fish this is?

I think it is a tetra

Reason for responding is the trident fern. Is this your tank? If so, how are you managing to keep the trident lush and healthy. CO2 injection? Or is it a new addition?

Sorry for the selfish question and not being able to help you.

HI and thank you for the help in identifying this fish. I thought it was a tetra, however I can't determine what type of tetra it is...
Yes, I utilize CO2 injection in this tank. The trident has been in this tank for over 2 months.

think it’s a tetra too. Looks like a rummie nose without the red head.

I just got this fish given to me yesterday. I am hoping it will de-stress and color up...

It appears to have an adipose fin, which should be of some help with ID. How long is it nose tip to end of caudal peduncle ( not including tail fin).

Maybe a stressed out Glass Bloodfin tetra?

I hope it does also, but if it's a rummy nose tetra, as 86 ssinit suggested, keeping it solo may keep it stressed (I'm not at all blaming or criticizing you for taking it in, by the way).

I agree. I’ve never kept rummy nose tetras, but I heard when they’re stressed, they lose the red coloring on the head. If it’s a new addition to the tank, it may be stressed from that, causing it to lose the red coloration. Although, it does not have the black dots on the back fin.

It has a completely clear tail fin so I don’t see how it can be a Rummynose. Stress fading is one thing but it wouldn’t turn a black and white tail colourless.

It also has that stripe. Body shape looks like a rummy nose, but looking at the pattern again, I don’t think it is. Definitely some sort of tetra though, based off body shape.

Look at Glass Blood tetras.

Look at Glass Blood tetras.

Just based off pictures, I don’t think so. They are similar, for sure, but I don’t think that’s the species.

Ah well. Just have to keep looking.

Many unknown tetra species show up in shipments of wild- caught fish. Most are rather nondescript, but occasionally you’ll find something amazing. I once found a young male Crenuchus spilurus mixed in with a group of rummynose tetras.
