Awesome score, wicked looking fish - Aquarium Advice

fish_4_all · 09-18-2006, 12:38 AM

I was at my LFS and they had their shipment in. I looked in the bag of neon tetras and there it was. Agruesome looking albino tetra. It is either a glowlight or an x-ray but it is absolutley albino. I can see the swim bladder and see all the way through it. The eyes look like it belongs underground in a lightless cave. It is an awesome fish and makes for some very interesting color darts when it schools with the neons.

BTW, Being in with the neons at 3/$1 this one cost me 33.33 cents.

Glow Light or X-Ray?

I would say glowlight. Not a thick enough body for an x-ray IMHO. Good find!

Yep, that's an albino glo-light. My local fish shop has 'em from time to time.
