Paracheirodon simulans -
Wikipedia explanation here - a tetra less common than cardinals or neons. Pretty much the same as a small neon, with no red coloration. Superb schoolers (for freshwater fish that is), and from my experience, fairly hardy.
You'll see them in a lot of Amano's tanks, I assume because he does not want reds in fish to visually compete with the green colors of the plants. If you want them, and find them, my advice is to get them. They are pretty hard to find in the states, and you don't know when another opportunity will arise.
