Can you help me identify these fish?

[80four]

I had a tank of fish left with me over the weekend when my brother moved to australia, i have no idea what the majority of them are, so if anyone can offer any help of pointers, i'd be greatful.

above: the big fish, he likes to stay under the filter and comes out when the tank is dark.

above: a bottom feeding fish of some kind... quite active and occasionally pops to the top and then back to the bottom.

above: the fish in the middle of the picture... its a nice looking fish, but i have no idea what it is?

above: probably my favorite fish in the tank, a very good looking fish... please help me identify what this is?

above: see through fish, there are 6 of them in the tank - i believe the fish in the background are clown loach?

above: a big picture of the tank - there are a couple of fish who moved too fast for my camera!!


Thanks for the help.

First is a sailfin (gibbiceps) pleco, second is a Corydoras paleatus (best in small schools of 5 or greater), third appears to be a fairly colourless rosy barb, next (your favourite) is a Puntius dennisoni (AKA dennisoni/dennisons barb, AKA roseline shark)...the last two I cannot say, as the links to the pics take you to some commercial site.

White cloud minnow and glass catfish. The one in the front is a clown loach.

Yes, I now see a white cloud, the glass cats, a couple of glowlight tetras, 3 small clown loaches, and what could be (the blurred fish) a red-tail rasbora.

The blurred fish looks more like a bloodfin tetra to me, not a redtail rasbora although I could be mistaken since the pic is blurry

Could be...a better photograph is definitely in order.
