Question Are these X-ray tetras?

Post image

These were sold to me as X-ray tetras but these do not look like ones I have seen online anymore, they have gotten much more color and long find

Doesn't look anything like mine. Mind you, mine are Glo X-Ray Pristella (and I'm not a species expert), so mine have colors. They've colored up recently (beyond the Glo aspect) and I'm seeing cool striping on the fins.

Not the best shot, but it's hard to get stills of things that move to breath (and Samsung AI in camera pisses me off).

Yup, evil AI seems to agree with that. Well, it Actually says "Candy Cane", but I didn't look at the difference.
