Hi,
I need help to identify a fish, but I don't have a picture. I saw them in a tank in the lobby of a local business. Nobody knew what they were.
It looks as though they might belong to the tetra family(not sure). They were about an inch long.
A friend, who didn't see them, suggested they might be harlequin rasbora's, but they weren't. I've had harlequins before, so I know what they look like
They had a silverish main color on their body. From the tail to about half-way or three-quarters along the center of the body there is a black stripe that goes straight and then goes down on an angle just before the gills. On top of the black stripe there is an orange or copperish color stripe that follows the black stripe from the tail to half-way or three-quarters along the body, as well, but does not go down at an angle.
Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to get some of these fish, If I can find out what they are.
Thanks in advance,
Scott
