Tetra is the common name of various small freshwater characiform fishes.

(the name tetra also applies to other non-characiform species of fish.)

I've focused on fish that are characiform fishes and also have tetra names.

Sketch

When drawing animals of different sizes, I draw them in this order.

• 1. First, draw chunks from the big fish
• 2. Then after drawing a medium-sized fish
• 3. Place small fishes in the last remaining spot.

Most of the tetras in this picture are 1 to 3 inches. The largest is the sailfin tetra. It's actually bigger, but I couldn't draw it too big, so I drew it a little smaller.

Almost 13 years ago I had 5 cardinal tetras.

I loved watching them swim.

And I loved watching Rummy nose's videos.

Their names are cute. I heard that the name of the fish comes from the fact that the face of the fish is as red as a drunk person. There is also a similar fish called false rummy nose. I imagined a false rummy nose complaining about its own name.

Thank you!
