Hey, Someone is willing to give me some fish for free. 2 of em are mollies, and I know enough about them... the other four are "rosies". He said they're orange in color. He sent a pic and they don't really look like barbs... any ideas what else they may be?? Thanks! I'm attaching the pic he sent me, but it's not too good...

I can't tell real well from the pic. But I know the lfs here sells some feeder goldfish they call "rosies" that look just about like that. That would be my guess but I can't tell for sure from the pic.

Could be Rosy Red Minnows? (ak Fathead Minnows, Pimephales promelas)

bunebop, if you are going away for an extended period of time, do not add any fish. Last I heard, two tanks were not fully cycled and you recently lost your pleco (through no fault of yours).
Every once in a while you will get free fish offers. Choose wisely.
