What kind of fish are these?

These three fish came with the tank. They are just over an inch big. There color reminds me of Caucasian skin pigment and they have different color neon hues on there spine. green, pink, purple and I had another awhile ago that disappeared. They are in my semi aggressive tank and do well with all the fish. They school together most of the time but sometimes one will part off for a little while.

Hmmm.. Im having a hard time with that one, closest in body shape is a bleeding heart tetra, http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...906&pcatid=906 but the coloring isnt there. I would say its an albino something but the eye doesn't look pink.

Edit: Nevermind I think I got it, White Skirt Tetra : http://www.petsolutions.com/C/Live-F...irt-Tetra.aspx

Yup. And they are that pinkish color naturally. Due to the lack of color, they are pink due to the blood in their veins. They are also used for the dying of others that we discourage buying and selling.

Thanks, I've been wondering what kind these are for a long time. I picked up the tank almost a year ago and they came with it. I've kind of grown to like them. They don't have to much of a personality but I do have the one that wonders off and comes to the glass to entertain me every once and awhile. They are doing well now but I just picked up a green terror, JD, and a fire mouth, all about 2" big and I am wondering if they will survive or be eaten once they cichlids get older. I guess I'll just have to watch there interaction as they grow. Thanks again
