A new species that currently is recognized as Thayeria sp. "Red Tail". Thayeria is the genus of the more common Penguin Tetra. Last May I saw a school of live "Red Tail" specimens in a display tank in a Seattle store -- I was impressed and knew I wanted to get some and start working with this species.
This is a BAP submission, and the offspring qualify as emerging juveniles - already showing red.
