Afternoon all!

First time fish keeper here. We were lucky to inherit a tank and contents from a friend when she moved..

Nice little tropical set up which has now been in about a week and settled quite nicely.

Got a small handful of neons, two Molly's (one black one Dalmatian) and a few unidentified fish (to be confirmed)

Will be on the forum getting useful info and a whole raft of questions as and when

Cheers folks

What's the unidentified fish? Picture? The second pic you posted is a dwarf gourami (someone else may be able to get more specific)

I have added a few pics..

Of the 4 neons, one is much bigger than the others but bears all the same markings etc.

The dwarf Gourami is a character, I was taking pics of the others and he was desperate to get in on the act of having his picture taken !

So yeah, any identification would be magical.. will try and get some clearer pics if they stand still long enuff !!

The larger "neon" is a cardinal tetra, and your clear fish are glass catfish! Those are really cool and I've been wanting some for awhile.

Top pic is a Cory, but not sure on what type

Cool, I have two. Again, funny characters, they spend most of the day in the car / shade together coming out later evening to sweep up after feeding time

Ahh yes, the Cardinal. The smaller ones do.seem to follow him around as their leader !!

As I say, it's my first foray into fish keeping, they are fascinating to say the least!!

Welcome

Welcome!

Our dwarf gourami is also a camera hungry diva.

Just so you know, those aren't neon tetras, they're cardinal tetras and they are beautiful! Get a little bigger than neons though i have a school of them about a year old


Edit: Just saw someone pointed out the cardinal. I didn't realize it was just the one that was different. Either way, it's beautiful! As is your tank!

So these are all in a 10 gallon?

That tank definitely doesn't look like a 10 gallon.

@Greggy do you know the size of the tank?

 

[bruceamo12]

You keep a very clean looking tank for a newbie. Are you sure your a newbie? Ha ha

 

[greggy]

It's an 80litre tank (20 gallon in US money I think)

Yep, a total newbie, completely new to all of this ! Honest ! Im quite surprised how clear it is too. No casualties (yet) and everyone seems to be getting on alright
