ID: Tetra - Prionobrama filigera

[CK Yeo]

This is quite a common tetra in the LFS.
Appreciate if someone can help me put a name on it. TIA

This should be the glass bloodfin. Better known as Prionobrama filigera. Matured male speciments has extended anal fins with a white streak extending from the first ray to the tip of the anal fin.

Not an easy subject to shoot. Very good control of lighting here!

CHeers,

hehe... nice fishes actually...even though they are quite common.

Thanks. Oh, so this the male? I was thinking why some of them have a white streak on the anal fins.



When the lights hit the scales at a certain angle, it will give off a blue iridescence. Tend to be overlooked in the LFS.

Have got a shoal of these, in my opinion a very under-rated fish! Easy to care for and very active in the tank.
