Saw it one night so it must be from the live rocks cuz I dont remember buying this. Looks like a tetra lol.

Only comes out at night and quite fast.

That does look like a tetra, weird. @i cant think @Slocke @ISpeakForTheSeas? Maybe a fry/juvenile?

Also why are you mean to them in the title

I'm thinking some type of cardinalfish fry but not sure which one. It will be interesting to know what it looks like when it's bigger

Yeah, my thoughts would be a cardinal as well - OP, where is your live rock from?

 

[Doctorgori]

look like some kinda juvenile fish to me,

THANK YOU ALL! Sucks it is a cardinal. I am not a fan of cardinal nor cromies - ugly fishes! But hey he is here, so I should give it the best life I can.

Im from the Philippines. Lots of that here. Even lots of marine fishes here being exported to other countries... fishermen catch fishes and they sell it to companies who sell them to US, Germany, Hong Kong, etc etc etc.
