Yodapwnsasmurf Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Today I bought 5 Diamond Tetras from a VERY nice store, I previously hadn't seen them before. Bit of an impulse buy I guess, but I think they'll look very nice in the Paludarium once it's complete. They are schooling with some White Clouds at the moment, you really have to see them to appreciate them. Does anyone else own any or have experience with them? I was told by the store owner they were a Cardinal varient, but my research tells me they are Neons. They look a lot like a Neon but instead of the blue stripe, they only have a blue head, but it's like an iridescent blue, looks like diamond. Not great pics, you really do need to see them top view, for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodapwnsasmurf Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 So I guess no one has kept these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrin Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 They look more like neons than cardinals, for sure. I've never kept these ones but normal neons, which all got sick.Pretty neat looking head on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only got 4 now, think the spiny eel knocked one off, a few of them look pretty fat (I assume females?). Much chance I could get them to breed?
