I am actually wondering if it is a hybrid of what JOM found (Loreto) and a black neon tetra. The reason I wonder this is because the top of the body seems too transparent to be the Loreto, and the Loreto stripe is not quite as defined through it's body as the black neons is. If it were a cross breed for some reason, that would make sense as to how it got the red tail. Of course it could just be a function of the pictures as well. Good pics are hard to come by with fish that move that quickly! And I have no idea how easy it would be for them to cross breed, accidentally or otherwise.
Just another idea to toss out there.
