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.

Yeah but that's also quite typical dominance arguing you see in a lot of Hyphessobrycon species. Gets on my nerves which is why I never kept these. Still... good looking fish, absolutely!

Yes.. well... I think we'd Id'd that already. Nice to have the common name though.
Bit of friendly advice, you may want to examine your signature, not everyone is going to ignore a half gallon betta vase.
