I have sent Simone a couple of photos of the 'Splashing Tetra' that I
had a year ago. It is a female and a male. In the Baensch Aquarium Atlas
#1 (revised) they are pictured on page 333 and are listed as Copella
arnoldi. Once Simone gets the photos up, my question would be if these
are the real ones you are talking about.

(give it a day or two to be put up)

Thank you
