Vampire Tetra?
They’re also called Dracula fish, saber-tooth dogfish, water wolf, tiger characin, and payara. and look pretty harmless when viewed like this.
But when you see their dental work. it's a different story, lol
Anyone ever seen or kept these little barracudas?
Mike!

Wow, that tetra has some big teeth. All tetras have teeth, most are too small to see unless you look hard.

Seen them only once at the Steinhardt aquarium in san francisco, they were on a special exhibit. pretty cool.
No matter how much I learn or know I'm still gonna be a NOOB, but that doesn't mean I'm an idiot!

Holy cow look at those teeth
I've never seen one of those before!
You can't play nice with people who don't play by the rules!

Arent these the same as buck tooth tetras?
The ones that only get 3" in the tank but get monstrous in the wild?
