Can anyone ID these fish? **updated**

[illuminum]

Can anyone [acronym:6a588b8e0d="Identify"]ID[/acronym:6a588b8e0d] any of these fish? I don't know all of their names. Sorry, the pics aren't too great. Any help would be appreciated.



These two pictures are of the same feww fish if you can't tell. They're definitely topdwellers. They're always at the top of the tank just hanging around.


This was a *something* ram. I forgot.





The silver guys with the red fins are some sort of emperor tetras but I forgot what kind exactly... The one on the bottom right is a gourami, but that's about all I know about him.

Not sure about the first 2 pics, but I *think* those are killifish.

3rd pic of of a blue ram aka German ram.

4th has a Boesmani Rainbowfish in the back, and some sort of cory in the front.

5th I'm pretty sure the ones with the red fins aren't tetras but another type of rainbowfish; the lil guy in the front right is a dwarf neon gourami. The one on the left swimming out of the picture is a rummy nose tetra. The 2 striped guys in the back may be the emperor tetras; kinda hard to see them to be sure.

Good work Allivymar!!!! I'm not sure which killifish those are in the first picture either but Allivymar got all of the others right on the mark! Those are DEFINITELY killifish in the first 2 pictures.

Oh yay for me!!! And I was just guessing *grin* Looks like I'm not the weakest link.

Where's my prize?

I wouldn't bet the farm on it, but those killies look like Aplocheilus lineatus.

The blue and red fish in the last picture, identified by Alli as rainbowfish, are indeed rainbowfish. More specifically, they're Praecox Rainbows (Melanotaenia praecox). There is also one Boesmani Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia boesmani) in the last picture, near the foreground, in the shadows with a just-visible yellow tail, and one Blue Ram swimming away from the camera on the right behind the Praecox.

And I think the cory in the fourth pic is a bronze cory (Corydoras aeneus); panda cories usually have blacker dots, not a full line.

Oh, and though the gourami in the last picture is a dwarf gourami (Colisa lalia) I'm pretty sure it is called a "flame gourami." Flame gourmis, neon blue dwarf and powder blue dwarf gouramis are all the same species, but selectively bred specimens.

Sorry I can't [acronym:668918b02e="Identify"]ID[/acronym:668918b02e] the exact killifish species. Try the American Killifish Association for pictures: www.aka.org. They have a fantastic site. Beware that the fish you're looking at probably fetches $25-100! Yikes!

Just wanted to note this as correct. The neon or neon blue gourami is mostly blue and shows faint striping of the "regular" dwarf gourami.
