    That the Bentos Tetra or Ornate tetra, Hyphessobrycon Bentosi is the scientific name. Resembles the Rosy Tetra but the Rosy does not have the black shoulder patch.

    Here's a short video I found of them showing their amazing colors and finnage. I don't know why the person only seem to have two though.
