What kind of fish?

Question

I seen a really pretty topical fish it was blue and had a little spot on top of its head that was a peachy, pink color. It was in with I think it was something called fruit Mixed Tetra. With out a picture any one have any idea's what it may be. It really didnt look like any of the other fruit mix tetra in the tank. Thanks

It's more like a danio. The pictures i have seen of the danio This fish was'nt as long. But about the same shape. I would say right now its maybe about a half inch in size.

Answer 1

Could you describe the shape a little more? (long and thin like a danio, tall and falt side to side like a gourami, whiskers like a catfish, etc.) What was the size?

ADDITION: You may have seen a juvenile turquoise danio that got mixed in by mistake: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=948

Or possibly some species of killifish: http://petra-aqua.com/gfx/obrazky/3025.jpg

Answer 2

mixed fruit tetras are artificially dyed and lose their cute colors fairlly quickly -- leaving people with a boring fish when they wanted something hot pink.

i am not quite sure what fish is blue. of the top of my head some african cichlids and rainbows are blue. blue gouramis are blue.

if you are looking for brightly colored community fish please consder some female bettas. they are bred in really great colors and you can have a shoal of them in a community tank without any problems. they stay smaller than most fish and make a great color display.

Answer 3

hmm im not sure what it was...with the exception of the blue part, sounds like a glofish which is just a genetically altered danio...the "red" ones look more pink
