Fish ID Please

[baranne]

Hi all,

Another fish that I recently bought and would like help in ID:


Anyone has any good links to the characteristics/profile of the fish? Any tips on how to make their colours come out? It seems that some of those that I have are brighter coloured than the others. Some are even quite plain.

Thanks Choy... but the link seems broken...

Give them some time Joe, wild fish needs time to aclimatize. Losses might also be likely, but once they established in the tank, they are very hardy.

Choy, yes the link is broken. I think the URL is incomplete?

So far the 10 that I bought are still around. Initially I was worried that they would not be able to get the fish food as the pellets seemed too big for them... everytime they eat the food they would spit it back out after a while... ... but so far they look ok... so I assumed that somehow they are still getting fed...

Try tubifex worms. That's what I did. About the parasites thing, it's pretty much a personal choice. Fish is like that, can go without food for a long time.

Isn't tubifex worms even bigger for them to eat?

I am thinking brine shrimp, but nowadays lazy to hatch them, so if they can survive on the fish food I would keep it that way. Also, no LFS near our place that I can buy BBS...

Yea, mine gobbles Tub worms very well, though their appetite is somewhat small. heh, long time haven visit you already.

I am still paranoid about Tub worms... will hope for them to be able to digest the fish food for the moment... ya man when u wanna come over? I also haven't seen your tanks for a while.
