Is it neon tetra?Help me please.............

Question

Please help me to identify this fish.Petstore owner told me that it is a neon tetra.But i searched in net but i dont identify a fish like that which is known as tetra.

It is about 5cm.he told me that is not able to identify the s*x now & it will grow a few more.Its colour is about silvery but red shade in the end of its tail & fin & in a light shade of red in the top of its body.

I am sure that its not bleeding tetra,bloodfin tetra

If you can identify it please tell me...........& how to identiffy its s*x.......

Answer 1

a neon tetra is half blue & half red. it is hard to tell the s*x of small fish but, males have a long pointy bit under their body pointing in the direction of their tail. females have nothing there.

Answer 2

as for sexing, females are a bit plumper then the males

as for what tetra it is, a picture would be helpful to identify it
