Grrrr...getting frustrated...don't know what I am doing wrong to get pics.

Mystic,

The site that I used was one recommened here "snapfish" It says the photos have to be jpeg. I can see the pictures on the site.

Fishies First Pic

It looks like my tank is narrow in the back...but it isn't...must be the way I took pic. This was taken before I had The Three Stooges.

Oh my...it is working...thank you so much for all your help folks...I used www.photobucket.com

If anyone can make out The Three Stooges...I was told they were GloLight Tetras...but from what I read on the net...sounds more like black neon tetras?????

So...what do you think...does it look okay...do I have too much in tank???

They could be either species

They are Deffinatly not Glowlight tetra, at the base of the tail Glowlights have two small forking ash marks on either side of the orange strip. The fish in this picture has a stronge Black Dot in the middle of the base of its tail, And what looks like a faded black strip on one side of its body. Again i doubt it is a Black Neon.

Remember that the photo has been taken with a flash, not the best for bringing out the true colours in a fish. I think that it could be a black neon, but most of the stripe is obscured by the reflection off the upper body. I can't find any better match in my books - although my most comprehensive one somehow manages to make the tail of a red-tailed black shark look yellow, so I'm not sure how good this info is.

Speaking of flashes - anyone with glass catfish should try photgraphing them with a flash, it brings the skeleton into sharp contrast and the red-eye makes them look positively demonic!

Tried again to get pics of the tetras...in my newbie, unprofessional opinion, still thinking these guys are black neon tetras.

So...can you tell any better with these pics...

AND how do you get the fish to pose for the camera :D

Black neon tetras...yes..no...yes...no :-?

When I was at the pet store in Halifax...saw black neon tetras. The ones they had there...the black on the bottom was darker than mine. Someone showed me a pic of one here, can't remember who though, sorry :oops: can't find it! Anyway, the guy at the pet store said that my fish weren't mature yet. Does anybody know if that could be the case? How long do fish take to mature? And...does it make a difference if male or female...I mean...after all...most women would say that we mature faster than men...JK...JK...JK :o

OH...I don't know if this makes a difference...but I do notice that the tetras in question...when it's feeding time...they will zip up to the top of water to get the food as well as feed as the flakes fall...I've rarely seen the neons go up to the top.

Your pet store Doesnt know what ther talking about. Black neons get the line alot more early on in there lives than the semi adult tetra you have there. I took some pictures of my Black neons with the flash on and no aqaurium light and they looks like urs, so i would now have to say, yes they probably are Black neons.

Thank you Shae :bow:

It is now settled; they are black neons :P

Shae, one of the three has always been smaller than the other two and he/she swims most of the time as if on a...say... about 45 degree angle...and ideas on this?

Thanks Shae,

He eats just fine...and scoots up to get the flakes no problem...I wouldn't say he is skinny...just smaller than the others...their stomachs...ummm...rounded I guess, definitely not protruding...they look fine...if you have seen any of my pics...I believe they are "normal" looking

Shae...I've been looking on the net about swim bladder...most of the sites say the fish are swimming on their sides, head down...don't see anything about on an angle :lol: :lol: anyway...none of the sites said if it was contagious or not...I'm thinking not but wanted to check this with you?

Well I'm not worried thanks to you...because he is eating and he's been like this pretty much since the time I got him/her
