I picked up 5 of these little guys last week and was so impressed I went back to get 3 more. It is so interesting being able to see inside of them. Kind of creepy too. Apparently these are the albino version.

Those menacing black eyes will give you nightmares. :ermm:






 
Beautiful tetras and nice pictures!

Thank you :) They are my new favorites.

I'm surprised at how docile they are. They have taken very well to my community tank. I think they are becoming best friends with the Danios now. I constantly see them swimming together. It's as if the 8 Tetras and 8 Danios have split so that their are 2 groups of 4 each. The only time I see a solid group is when they are resting. Once the lights come back on though, it's pandemonium with no distinct "school".

Weird. :ermm:

I guess it is a good sign though, as fish usually only school tightly when nervous or scared.
