Identify this tetra please


Okay, I don't actually have a picture right now. I'll try to get one up if needed. It's got a silver body with a red tail. The anal and dorsal fins have a yellow base with a black bar in the middle and a white tip. My lfs gave him to me b/c they only have one left and didn't even have a tag on it. He seems so lonely and won't school with the neons or rummys. I'd like to get more of them but I don't know what to ask for. Thanks.

My closest guess would probably be a Columbian Tetra. Im not too sure without a picture though.

Nevermind. After doing a search for columbian tetra I finally found a site that had a pic of my fish. It's a pristella tetra.

I just called my fav lfs and they are ordering some for me. I want to have at least 6 total. I currently have 24 fish in my 37g. Most 1" in size. 5 more fish would put me close to my limit.
