Re: Need help to ID fish
I'm new to AC, and not an expert by any means, but I'll take a stab at this, I'm not sure of the first pic, but I think it's some kind of peacock, the second is an electric blue I believe, the third, I have no idea, the forth, is in my opinion, an Aratus, the fifth is possibly a koolie loach, and the last one is a blue lab I presume......how did I do ?Truth is the cement that holds the bricks and stones of a sane and civilized society together. Remove the former and the latter will crumble. -
Re: Need help to ID fish
I think the third is a Red fin borleyi, they look similar. However, I am not an expert but would like to learn more. I bought these when I wanted cichlids but it was a small hobby. I have gotten more into it so I need to learn the different species.Comment

I know the second one, just can't think of the name right now. Last one looks like a Scolofi.

Last one - Pseudotropheus socolofi?
2nd - Melanochromis johanni?
Agree with CF on the fourth - M. auratus
Agree with Raul, some kind of OB zebra
Not too sure, but I think we all gave you a start! :)"Millennium hand and shrimp!"Comment

Re: Need help to ID fish
My thoughts:
1st pic: Ps. zebra "OB"
2nd pic: M. johanni
3rd pic:??
4th pic: M. aurutus
5th pic: Syncrossus hymenophysa AKA Tiger Botia
6th pic:Ps. socolofiScarecrow : I haven't got a brain... only straw.
Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.Comment

Re: Need help to ID fish
3rd Pic is definitely a Red Fin Borleyi with a Convict behind him. I bought a group of 5 that looked exactly like that when they were young.Comment

Between Tim and Mike, I think they nailed all of them for you.Consider my posts as general information based on personal experiences, and in most cases, far oversimplified. Actual mileage may vary. Don't try this at home. If symptoms persist, contact your physician.Comment

Re: Need help to ID fish
I thank you guys for the help. That was cool. I have one more to see if you all can name this one it looks similar to the Socolofi but is an yello/orange color. I am attaching the link to where I have a photo of it saved. Let me know what you think.

More than likely a Ruby Red... Those few black spots and the color of it's dorsal, I could be mistaken though.Comment

It is kinda hard to tell rom the tint on the picture... does it look like this?Scarecrow : I haven't got a brain... only straw.

Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?

Re: Need help to ID fish
Arm are those Labs? I know it is not a lab but has the black line down its fin like the lab or Socolofi, it is also more of an orange color. It was hard taking his/her pic always moved when it saw the focus light come on. Along with the zebra I got lucky with the zebraComment
