You've got a white skirt tetra (long-finned???) and those aren't congo tetras but rather red eye tetras.

 

[FishLuvr]

okay someone else said white skirt tetras, so i looked them up, and the fish i have is OPAQUE , like you can kinda see right thru it, and the eyes look different than the pics of the tetras i seen, mine look like dark black buttons lol, as opposed to the White skirt tetras pics! is it sick then if it is a white skirt tetra, or is it a different fish?

thanks for the id's

I think you mean that yours is the opposite of opaque, i.e., translucent. There are some that are like that - often you'll see them dyed pink or blue . . . .
But maybe it's something entirely different . . . .

I second it's an albino skirt tetra. I had one that this forum ID'd for me not that long ago.

 

[lauraf]

Hmmm, without the pink eye, I wonder if it would be classified as albino . . . .

 

[nanu156]

albinos always have pink eyes, albino implies a complete lack of pigment. Albino animals always have pink eyes. Albino people have very white/blue eyes...

Lots of albino fish are blind so it's important to see if they recognize food, if not you need to push food down close so that they can eat.

Your transparent tetra?

Colored Skirt Tetra, Colored Tetra, Gymnocorymbus ternetzi

Also, if you take a close look at the fins of your "Congo Tetras" vs pictures of actual ones, you can see that they're something else. Don't know quite what though!


Haha and I'm lovin' the LSD gravel that tank has going on XD

Keeping it or going more natural?

 

[ryanoh]

Those are red eye tetra, are they not?

 

[IThinkTherefore]

Ooh! Plus one on the red-eye!
