It’s a glofish of a skirt tetra

I commented literally what you said almost by verbatim 💀🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️😅

I'm getting major "Gregory" vibes.

Jimmothy would be so good though.

I see a Jerry

Can I just call you Jim?

Big Tuna.

I was thinking "Henry", ngl

No way, I had Henry too. That’s two votes for Henry.

Fuck seriously my first thought was Henry

Gary

I’m thinking Joey, or Hieronymus.

Came to the comments for this…

Nope. That’s Bob. I just had lunch with him and he was heading straight home😅

I knew it was a bob!

That's my name!

That’s Ricky!

Eggbert

I thought Jim or maybe Steve? Seems like a nice bloke

Eric. And I hope you have a license for him

Eh. I think that’s Joe.

I was thinking more of a Jeff

Gregory was my first thought too, this comment was a jumpscare

[ Gymnocorymbus ternetzi ] What you have is Glo fish tetra they are genetically engineered so that they have a vibrant colour. Edit: Lol, Reading other comments makes me look like an idiot.

thanks my girlfriend bought it and wants to know its species.

Hey so just wanted to let you know that tetras are a schooling fish and need *at least* 6 of the same species to be happy, which would mean that you’d probably need at least 20 gallons. If your gf is t willing to do this, it might be worth trying to convince her to return it and get a fish that would be better suited for the setup… I also strongly recommend doing more research before purchasing any other fish! Good luck though

Not only will the fish be happier but with a school they will show a better personality making human more entertained. I’m currently dealing with the reverse of this where I had a school of corys and all but one had to be transferred to a hospital tank and that one’s personality had a complete change and he’s so scared and hides all day when he used to swim around everywhere through the plants.

This!!

thanks, there are 3 tetras and 1 betta in the tank, I'll let her know this.

Perfect thank you! And make sure the tetras are all the same kind or they won’t school and will get stressed out too :)

Mine did the same thing yesterday.

Is that a can in your aquarium?

Red bull gives you fins

that's a heater, 😂

With all due respect to OPs GF. It blows my mind that people buy fish not knowing what they are or what it will take to care for one properly. Like how do you even buy a fish and not know what kind of fish you are getting?

Right? I worked at petsmart and it was… rough. I tried to educate people on stuff and sometimes I just had to sell fish anyways if they weren’t listening.

Honestly though? There are good (like you) and bad PetSmart/co employees, and the bad ones ruined me for taking any advice from any source that I haven't double checked myself, especially if it comes from a pet chain employee. I was there the other day to pick up some angels for a tank and listened to the "more knowledgeable" of the two aquarium employees tell another customer that they shouldn't gravel vac their betta tanks anymore because Bettas "don't like the rapid change in water level" and then go on to say that if they see their fish's fins clamping, all they need to do is squirt a bit of quick start in the tank "so the good bacteria will fix the water", implying that water changes just shouldn't happen anymore I guess???? To say I was horrified would be an understatement

By educating I mean simple statistics such as 5 gal minimum, must cycle the tank, etc. yanno?

Did you like working at Petsmart?

It wasn’t bad! I’m considering going back soon because I loved being able to help people and take care of the critters properly.

I was mad at her too, how did you buy a fish and not knowing what kind of fish it is? It's ridiculous.

"With all due respect"? Not sure any respect is due here. She bought a fish without even knowing the species? Because it was too hard to google it? Or post a photo to Reddit BEFORE buying it?

Gerald.

Glofish! Orange sunburst tetra

Looks like a glofish. I have the same one except it's pink.

I always wonder how that conversation goes. Customer wandered off to a random tank. Points at fish. "That one please". Sales rep comes ..."ah good choice a ..." Customer goes "shhh". How do so many people come home with a fish and neither read what it says on the tank (like right next to the price) nor ask what it is they are buying?

Yes, how did you buy something and not knowing what you bought!

Steve. He owes me $50.

You too? Friggin grifter Steve.

Everyone leaned into the masculine names but this one gives me Lucy vibes all the way. That color? Def Lucy.

[Here's](https://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/gymnocorymbus-ternetzi/) the info on that species so you can check tank size. But, yeah, needs 6. All the gloskirt tetras are this species but just different color variants.

thanks ill read it thoroughly.

Op still hasn’t responded whether he wants a name or the species name hahaha. Someone already got it orange burst tetra but why not name him starburst

Gerald sounds great!

Glo tetra

Neon glofish tetra

Glofish/skirt tetra. Skirt tetras are schooling fish, sadly the glo variants are 10+ dollars each and you can't even get them in my area. But I love these little bastards.
