Evaluate the article
The lead sentence of the article does a good job introducing a tetra, but could go into more detail about the contents of the article. The article includes scientific details about the tetras' body characteristics, including the homocercal caudal fin, dorsal fin, anal fin, and the adipose fin, and has references to the information which his adds credibility to the information presented. However, there is a lot of content that is missing from the article. It doesn't go into detail about any of the habits of the fish, which would be beneficial information considering the mass amounts of people that keep these fish as pets. The article does a good job of staying neutral, as it mainly states facts about the fish.

Another thing that this article lacks is sections, and is not well organized. The only section that this article has is on the different species of tetra, and that list is woefully incomplete. To improve the article there should be more sections that go into depth about the behaviors of the fish and general other things that would be good to know about the fish rather than just the physical characteristics, which is about the only thing that is covered in this article.

The images in the article add to the content nicely. The provide images of the fish that help the reader understand the characteristics discussed. The images are captioned with the species of fish which is helpful for hobbyists and general information. The talk page of this article is very short, but the collaboration that some of the editors have made is overall positive.

Overall, this article provides a solid introduction to tetras, their characteristics, and the challenges in taxonomy and identification. It could benefit from improvements such as providing more sections for more comprehensive information and addressing the incomplete list of tetra species. The overall status of the article underdeveloped as it is a Start-class article.
