    Guys

    Need help...
    1) identifying these 3 fishes

    Iriatherina werneri

    Pseudomugil furcatus (Furcata rainbow)


    Tentatively bottom Swordtail....

    By the way, my 2ft tank contains these 3 fishes, Emperor Tetra, Harlequin Rasbora, Cardinal + Neon , Albino Neon Tetra, Dwarf Puffer, Bardi Bardi, Cherry Barb, Mickey Mouse Platy, Molly, Zebra Danio, Red Nose, Black Neon

    Which ones except Puffer will attack shrimps?

    Thanks to all guys, 2 out the fishes identities have been confirmed. Clearer picture is put up. The remaining one is a bottom swordtail, species still determining...
    Anyone know where to get this 3 species Seems quite rare to find in Singapore...

    The 1st & 2nd photo looks like rainbow fishes. Except I can't recall the names now....

    Third looks like a swordtail to me.

    Would be easier if you re-take the photos again, its really blur.
    visit my photo albums @ flickr!

    Hmm... the 4th fish looks like a cross between the swordtail and platy. Either way, it's a Xiphophorus sp.

    That is a lot of fishes for a 2ft tank. Do becareful of the bioload.

    If you are asking what other fishes beside the Puffer will attack shrimps, all of them may. Anything that fits into the fishes mouth are potential food.

    I believe the Bardi Bardi you mentioned is Dario dario. They don't do well with boisterous and fast fishes, and all your other fishes are boisterous and fast.

    Hmm, that's why i planning to clear those fish to another 2 ft tank, most probably a tank that includes shrimps and some friendly fishes only. Yup, is Dario Dario. Sorry cant remember the name at the point of topic-ing. Anyway, any way to take a clearer picture of fishes that are constantly moving? I'm using a CASIO EXILM camera.
