Hey Everyone,

My name's Mike and I'm new to AA. My dad and I are running a 29g tank and for the life of me can't identify this fish. We have a pair of them in our tank and I think its a tetra of some sort. Here's the pic:

Thanks in advance.

no problem. I had to look up some pics and compare before i was able to see the difference. I thought it was a lemon tetra at first sight too. But then i remebered that they didnt have the markings on the dorsal fin. Very similar looking fish though.
