Any dead fish can flow down the river but it takes a live one to swim back up stream.

Very nice fishes. What about the tank specifications?

This tetra is among the most beautiful species available to hobbyists, and you have very good examples, Sushant!
I have never seen them on sale except once, and since this is a large species and needs at least a 3 footer tank, I couldn't buy. Some day.....
