Please identify this fish if you can.

Not sure if I'm adding the picture correctly. I'm trying an attachment. (hey great! It worked!)

Who can name this striped fish?

 

[joy13]

Leporinus I am pretty sure this is it

 

[Greeny]

That is definitely it. Thank you SO much!

I bought the tank yesterday with the fish in it. There are two of these in there with 6 tetras and 2 catfish. They haven't been very belligerent so far, but I guess we will see!

just a beautiful specimen, take good care of them

They are beautiful. They look like they are made of velvet.

Their tail fins look are ragged and I didn't notice that yesterday. What could be the problem? Stress from having their aquarium moved and refilled with water? My levels are OK...I've checked. The water is reading as hard, though.

Thanks,
Greeny.

probably stress, keep a close eye, if they start showing white dots or there fins look infected treat immediately, raise the temp a bit that usually calms fish down, or add some aquarium salt, restore some electrolytes it helps them
