Good morning to you all.
I made something of a mistake yesterday evening when I bought a lovely fish tank on eBay. It will need some work, but it owes me very little so I'm fine with that.
The issue is that the listing did not describe it as coming with fish included, which is needless to say not ideal and caused me to have to drive home rather carefully with a tank a third full in my boot.
Obviously when I got the tank back the filter refused to work and I didn't have a spare on hand for that size of tank. I did, however, have a quarantine tank running that I was able to quickly transfer the fish to.
I've kept fish on and off for 25 years, but I'm never going to claim to be an authority and my fish ID skills are currently being tested by two of the 4 species of fish that I have inherited. Hence my coming to your forum.
I'm sure I have a group of 4 blue tailed male guppies, I'm also sure I have 1 pretty standard looking platy.
The other two species of fish I'm less confident about but I have some guesses that I'm hoping to have confirmed or corrected.
I have a group of 6 neon yellow fish that to me look like a danio, two of them are fatter with long fins and the rest are more the traditional danio sort of shape. I will attach a picture of each shape below. Are these glo fish danio? They look far more neon in person.
The second fish is a single orange/yellow fish that I suspect to be a Chinese algae eater, but I'm not sure at all.
Thank you in advance for any help offered.
