Hi,

A few weeks ago I found these extremely beautifull (at least according
to me) fishes in my aquarium store. The store catch many of their fish
themself in Brasil and import them to Belgium. I was told that it was
a very rare fish, only recently discovered, so I thought I might
publish a picture of them and ask if anyone of you knows this fish or
can tell me where I can find more information.

It is for sure that it is a kind of hyphessobrycon. They were catched
in the Araguaia river in Brasil.

A known species from that river.
