Mimagoniates inequalis, known as the croaking tetra (a common name also applied to M. lateralis[3] and M. microlepis[4][5]), is a species of tetra in the genus Mimagoniates. It was previously classified as Glandulocauda inequalis[6]. Croaking tetras, specifically Mimagoniates microlepis, typically reach sizes of 5–6 cm (2.0–2.4 in) in length, though captive individuals can grow larger, up to 9 cm (3.5 in). Another species, Mimagoniates inequalis, is smaller, with males and unsexed fish reaching a maximum length of 3.3 cm (1.3 in) SL.[7]
