Some shots of my TETRAS...

Hey, Pals
Can you say at once – what is that fish “BATMAN”…













OK, I’m just joking… it’s easy guess –rotate the pic on 180 degrees and that is:



and if somebody wondering still, what is that fish …
the answer is - Toracocharax Securis (from Central American’s area)



and that’s another more popular its cousin(from PERU) - Carnegiella Strigata:



Here they are schooling in the tank, mostly under water surface area…



So, in that kind of looking…these fishes are not much impressive…
But I had trying to get some close up macro shots and catch some magnificent fascination of them…
sometimes almost transparently…other time - distracting the lights by unique way…








They haven’t so horrible teeth…but it’s not quite harmless…

Whoa this set of photographs is too cool! Batman/ batfish that's a good one! I couldn't identify it until the third profile shot, but laughed thoroughly at each photo prior.

These fish remind me of H.rasboras but with bellies. I wonder what the environmental advantage of having a body that has this "beer belly" in nature.

I love Hatchet fish, great shots. I have a few Marble and regular large hatchets. I have them in a 50G with the water level a little low. I use a screen mesh on top of that and throw in some mosquito's at night and you can watch the fly out of the water to eat mosquito's. They are great flying fish.
I use to have them in an open top until they almost landed on my dinner plate one night.
They soon become late night dog treats.

I will continue with another representative of Tetras family,
and try to show the most expressive details of that lovely fish…
So, that how look my Nematobrycon Palmeri – The Emperor’s Tetra:




May be the first important thing to say, is that, why they call it “The Emperor’s Tetra”…
Here is the answer:





Of course, the male “brings the heavy crown” and often flaunt it and his colorfully dress…





The female is looking quite modest…





The other typical feature is their blue eyes – so magnificent and so hard to take a good shot on it using a flash…





May be some of you didn’t see the Black (purple) cousin of the Palmeri, who is enough expressive too:





And as you guess I like to do, for the Tetras post final…
To All keepers of that beautiful fish – don’t forget! They got very evil teeth…

I need to get a Hatchet like Batman for my collection now! That would be Marthae silver, Marbled, Silver AND the Batman hatchet.
