HenryC Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Hi guys, I'm sure there are lot of beginners that often see a fish in a youtube video that catches their eye, but unfortunately you don't know the name. I would like to start this thread (I think there's none?) so people can come and post a screenshot of a fish and have it identified by the more knowledgeable people, that way we can keep these requests in one single thread? If an admin thinks this is sticky worthy, cool! I'll start, I saw this tetra in one of cory's videos, anyone knows which one is it?

Tanked Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Sounds like a good idea to me. I adopt other people's fish, so I may have a general idea what I have, It would be nice to know a little more. Here are the first two: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the first two: First one is moonlight gourami, and the other ones look like silver dollar (spotted one). Not sure of the other ones are sliver dollars too, or baby pacu hmmm.

Not sure of the other ones are sliver dollars too, or baby pacu hmmm. These fish are at least 1-2 years old so thankfully, I can rule out baby Pacu. The previous owner said they were Silver Dollars and a Somekinda Gourami🙂 I 'd never seen one bigger than about 2". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blurb Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 got this hitchhiker fry early autumn, buying cherry shrimp. now it looks like this. Think it is female but..? is it a killi, a rainbow, something else? it is living with some guppy males so if it were a guppy i reckon there'd be fry by now so...anybody? Hoped I could get it some buddies. its the grey "splotch" to the left, in front of the guppy. appreciate any help you can give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Looks like a female guppy. Maybe any fry that have been produced have been eaten. Cool dwarf anchor cat by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 i can't get a good video of them but what do you think these are? petco sold them as pearl danios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeegee79 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 @quirkylemon103I don't know that I could rule out Pearl Danios from that video. Keep in mind that there are Pearl Danios and Celestial Pearl Danios, two very different colored fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillworthy Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Quote I have had silver dollar before but these develop bright colors I have not seen before. The red on the bellies and fins as well as the large single black. The picture does not do them justice. I'm working on a better photo technique. Has anyone else seen silver dollars with these colors or know what species they may be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do look like the photo that came up. I wonder if they're real shy like dwarf emerald danios and CPDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be a Western Mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis), another livebearer that kind of looks like a guppy. If so, then I'd be careful with these as I heard they can be a bit aggressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishpan Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Any idea what this might be? In a friends tank and we can't id it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be a type of goodied? It looks like it is around that family. So it might be some sort of goodied, killifish, or livebearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishpan Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Thanks for the lead! Seems like a possibility on the goodeid. Looking at pics now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
