Can I just have a big round of applause for Diamond tetras please?

My LFS talked me into getting a couple and they are sooooo beautiful!!! I would reccomend them to anyone - mine look so much prettier since I've got them home..

They are great ! I've seen some at my LFS and was actually planning to get a school for my 50gal ^_^... (If I can get the tank to cycle one day... lol) (my contact at one LFS could get me a deal (steal) on them at ~ 1.25$Can each.. which is nothing compared to other LFS that would sell me at 3$ each ! ... I so love to be known in theses kind of places ! lol)

I have 10 of them,they are really neat looking when they get bigger,especially if the are fed alot of frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp and daphnia,mine also eat peas.I would love to post a pic of them but they never hold still long enough.
