they are harlequin rasboras, i have 8 of those guys with my von rios too. the rasboras color up with nice orange, pinkish, salmon colors. and check out their eyes, mine have like an orange rim, good colors.
+1. Harlequin rasbora (trigonostigma heteromorpha). Very cool fish, but you really should think about QTing. Just a worrier...

well...all my tanks are empty and cycled except gravel ...and I got them all (the fishies) around the same time. Every tank is a QT tank right now. I have one dedicated QT tank that has seen alot of meds, but otherwise I only use temp salt and melafix in any of my other tanks. No other meds.
The other three tanks are still under route in aquascaping. For now, this is as good as a QT tank until something manifests that needs serious meds.
I would love to see full pictures of your setup. Gonna check out your profile. Or if you have a link, please post it.

Beautiful fish Kai! Glad to see you're getting a tank back up and going, we've missed you around here

Thanks, it is good to be getting back to normal. I missed by finned buddied these last couple months.
As for these comments...I knew tetras didn't get pregnant, but...is there any way to sex tetras. Will females get more plump when they carry eggs and a male is around?
Each species of Tetra is sexed differently.
I copied and pasted this from a website about Von Rio's
**** The male has a blood red anal fin while the females is lighter and sometimes yellow. The black tip on the pectoral fin is seen only on the female.
Hope that helps
I know with the neons the female is plumper and the males are more streamlined. Same for your rasboras. When I got our harlies (harlequins) after about a week they had spawned. Had eggs all over the bottom side of an amazon sword leaf but they were devoured by evening.
