[CRUSHER]

Yes... it is a special breed called.. a Cute Small Cichlid!

[R_sustaita]

Yes, in fact thats why my better half told me to buy it. hey look he is tiny and cute buy it.

Looks like a female peacock, which will make it hard to ID since they all look pretty darn close to one another.

I agree of the juvi peacock, second looks to be a guppy unless it was marked otherwise, the third looks to be a lemon tetra.

[R_sustaita]

Thank you, i just google it and yes it does look alot like a peacock and its behavior is like one. Thank you.

How much are they at the lfs where i got it they didnt know what it was

It was sold to me as a tiger strain endler female at ultimate fish. Alex was not there and the young guy seem not to know much.
and it is a lemon tetra but is it aggresive?

[dblondfemme]

And yes the guppy looking one has babies in her belly.
+1 to the female peacock...there are MANY types. Usually they are anywhere from $6-15 depending on type and how common. I am sure the cichlid people will have more info...but as far as the lemon tetra.. it is like any other fish... the type have a reputation, but each one can be different.

[R_sustaita]

Well then alex will be mad I paid $1.99 as the tank was not label and the attendant didnt know what it was.

What to do as to treat the expecting mom?

[barrettsline]

It appears to be a sunshine peacock. I have about 12 that look just like it.

+1 on hard to id juvi

Pretty sure it is a peacock. And I have a few juvi sunshine that look almost identical to your pics.

[R_sustaita]

Thank you guys. I can now know what i have on my tank. Just the next thing i need is what to do with the endler/guppy that is berried. She has been like that for about 2 weeks i got them all 12-26-2011

Give it a month or two and you'll have 50+ endlers in that tank if you just leave them be. Assuming you have males in there also?

Lol when i got her she was like that so i dont know how much time she has actually been berried. Sometimes she goes to the back of the filter and hides and 1 of the males pushes everyone away. I have 2 males and 1 adult female and 1 baby female.
