    Sjoe, daai Diamond Tetra is stunning. Is dit 'n "long finned" variety of net die gewone een?

    @Dinky,

    The Diamond Tetra is a male in full breeding colours.
    As far as I am aware, there isn't a long-fin variety of this Tetra.
    It does look fantastic.

    @Dinky - As far as I know there is no long fin variety. Males have the nice finage and females have shorter fins. In the case of the Bleeding Heart Tetra's both male and female have the same finage.

    Male BHT do get slightly more flamboyant fins than the females.
    But not to the same degree as Diamonds.

    I am awaiting some BH tetras that a local store says they can get. A shipment is coming in today so I will check it out Saturday. Will let you know if you are interested in having them shipped to you.

    I'm sure I saw a few of those at West Rand Pet and Bird Farm. Their number doesn't seem to work though
