I was Googling Tetras, but could not find one that matched this one. I bought four of them yesterday.
What kind of Tetra do I have here?

Longfinned white skirt tetra. Same as black skirt tetra but white.

Thank you! I thought the long flowing fins were pretty, but any pictures I could find of white tetras didn't look quite the same.

Your welcome. Very pretty fish, I agree. They can get quite nippy in small groups you should get a few more to stop that.

I agree that its a white, long-finned skirt tetra. I agree that you would probably be better off picking up a few of them to avoid any nippiness. I am not really sure whats up with the red cheek, but it might just be part of that color variation.
I have them too. Mine each reached about 3 inches in lenth.

Looks like it might be a "blushing"

Looks like it has been dyed, which is common with these.

I know, all four of them have the red cheeks.

I just got back from my LFS and while I was there I had a look at the white skirts. The red in their cheek is not die. They all have it. It's on the inside and because they are white you can see through them.

Thanks! Good to know! You can see through them. I thought I was missing some neons this morning and was looking inside the white tetras for them, but the neons were just sleeping under and behind the driftwood.
