The Platy and 2 white clouds

Golden white clouds (they love to hide)

One of the Cherry Barbs

That is a male platy not a cherry barb. platies are livebearers so you can find out more about him in the livebearers section

Hmmm...I am really bad with names but it said Cherry Barb on the receipt. I will have to check out the tank at the store when I go there tonight. Thanks for the info. Either way it is a beautiful color!!!

It looks like one of the minnows.

Lovely fish, love the colour of the platie.

No that "should" be the Golden White Cloud. We got 2 white clouds and 2 golden white clouds. They are about the same size but one has darker colors.

LOL...I just looked at Barb pics and that ain't even close You are totally correct on the platie call! Thanks for the correction (going to profile and changing before anyone else catches on )

Ah, okay, my bad... the shape and colour just kinda look like a female cherry, so I thought that might explain the receipt thing.

If they really did sell you those platys as cheery barbs, thats just dumb, heh.

I will have to check when I get home. When they take the fish out the person writes a number on the bag and then someone else reads the number off the bag and enters it into the computer so it's possible they mixed up a number.

Thank you! I thought so. Just the striping and everythign is different...

I think you should fill the water up to the rim.

Just my opinion, I think it will look better.

I am going to after I add fish this weekend. I did not want to fill it too high because I had to float 2 bags and did not want to over flow it but I could have gone higher.

BTW when I tested my tank last night it was 0, 0, 5!!!!! So Saturday after my daughters Ice Skating lessons it's off the LFS with our water sample to prove our worthiness

Not sure what to get though but looking for 4-6 small fish to complement what we have. Looking for some colors other then red.
