Alestopetersius brichardi "Blue"
These look nearly identical to what Aquarium Glaser imported as Alestopetersius leopoldianus

One of the most amazing fish to view in person. These, under Fluval 3.0 lighting. Once mature and finally settled in, they display the most impressive blue sheen. I had these 6 months longer than the A. brichardi "Red" but the "Blue" stayed about 0.5-1 inch smaller. They are a shyer fish and did not require an intentional pH drop to bring out their color. In my observation, they have smaller teeth and eye morphology than and sport a more prominent black mid lateral line.
The "Blues" supposedly come from Lake Mai-Ndombe, while the "Reds", according to Oliver Lucanus, come from Mbandaka. Hoping more literature comes out about the congo tetras and further discourse on proper ID's.

Chilatherina sp Kali Tusa ✨️ New Species ✨️
These juvenile rainbowfish are only about 1 inch long or so. They are one of the newest discoveries by Gary Lange and shows resemblance to Chilatherina alleni and Chilatherina pricei. These fish are small but already fire up promising yellows hues and blue spangled.

Two sparring males seeking the attention of a female. Old footage when I had dropped the pH to 5. These impressive fish might be my favorite tetra of all.
