Can anyone tell me all the types of tetras?

I couldn't begin to, but one thing you should watch out for are mixed-fruit tetras, if you didn't know already. They're dyed artificially and lose their color, and often die from it. Wal-Mart sells them, to no surprise.

You could start here: http://fishprofiles.com/profiles/fw/...p?id=Characins and even then I believe they don't have each one.
