View Full Version : Identification

Following on from my introductory post ([Only Registered Users Can See Links.]), I have taken some pictures of two fish I am unsure of.
The Pleco is quite hard to make out as its very dark/black, but has very faint, leopard like markings. The second one is a Piranahesque looking fish.
There is also a quick picture that I have just taken of my setup.
Any help in Identifying the fih would be appreciated.
I am pretty sure that i have got a couple of others wrongly identified, so what i will most likely do, is get pictures of those I am not 100% sure about, and ask in here what they are.
I am a total novice to Aquariums. I have never thought about getting one, but after having this one for 3 weeks now, I wish I had one ages ago.

the pleco to me looks like a common pleco. and how big is he pirahna like fish? it may be a tetra if its small or a pacu if its larger

I have replaced the pictures for bigger ones.
I would guess that the Piranah looking one is about 1.5" in length.

I think you have cracked it. Iv looked at some images of the Columbian tetra, and Im almost positive that is what I have.

Thank you.

One more.
Im not sure I am right in saying this one is a Yo Yo Loach. Its the closest I was able to find though.

Any suggestion what this is? They are about 1.5 to 1.75" in length.

A[Only Registered Users Can See Links.] thank you. Here is a picture of the day I got it. [Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

I will get more pics as it changes. It changed since then actually, with more fish in it now.

Thanks again. Comments like that make me feel even more proud of it than I already was.
