New Fish Identity Help

[Liquid_Pyro]

Just bought a used tank, and it came with a few fish, was wondering if you could help me identify them...

thanks

Pretty sure the yellow ones are Yellow Labs, and there is a type of pleco...dont know the name though, its mostly the brownish one and the Blue one I would like to know the names of

I think the blue one is an electric blue peacock.

 

[Liquid_Pyro]

the blue one is quite large, 6 inches plus easy, what about electric blue hap?

 

[Aquarium1]

The yellow ones are labs. Idk about the others.

 

[DizzCat]

Could you get a clearer picture of the brown one?

What size tank is it?

 

[Aquarium1]

Its the 45g isn't it?

 

[Liquid_Pyro]

[Aquarium1]

I haven't fully set up my tanks yet, workin on em all actually, they are all running fine, just haven't dialed in all the aquascaping yet...

but yes as per the yellow labs, I know I must have a male and a female as when I was given the new tank and fish the previous owner also found like 40 baby labs which he didn't even know about (shown in the pic below)

Also tried for some better picks of the brown fish, could they be the females to the blue one? whatever its called...

Still unknown: Brown Fish (female electric blue?)
Pleco's?
Blue Fish (electric blue haps or peacocks?)

That pleco looks like a gold banded pleco maybe.

this one is a Male Metriaclima lombardoi (common name.. Kenyi)(the big guy in the background)

Ahh, no.
That is definatly a Lab, a big male, probably a lot older than the rest. Kenyi do not have any black on them. Not a Kenyi, male or female.

also found like 40 baby labs which he didn't even know about (shown in the pic below)

Nope, not Lab fry. Lab fry are so yellow they are almost clear, not brownish like those guys. Most likely the brown one is the mom of them. I know, I have had a zillion Yellow Lab fry before and more to come within a week.

The blue one is a , Electric Blue Hap: Ahli. Watch it, they can be very aggressive. Not sure what the brown one is. Probably some hybrid and you may never figure it out. Poor thing looks beat to crap too.

yes the brown ones do look a little hurting, the plan is to sell them, just wanted to know their names to be able to sell them thats all

 

[Liquid_Pyro]

r u sure about the babies dizzcat? there were only 4 types of fish in the tank (blue hap x1, yellow lab x6 only 3 of breeding age, unknown brown x2, plecos x2)

 

[MichaelsLilGray]

i got yelled at by the gf on that one too lol

 

[DizzCat]

I am sure about the babies. It is highly possible that one of the brown ones mated with the Lab male or the Blue Hap. If there is not another male of their kind in the tank they will spawn with whatever male is available.
These are pure Yellow Lab fry, see how they are almost clean with a yellow tint?

 

[dhemp34]

sell them to me..lol...i want the blue one as i have one that is about 3.5 inches..I call mine Muhammid...lol...Muhammid Ahli

 

[Liquid_Pyro]

I think the pleco is a clown pleco. I have one and it looks almost identical to it.
