So i collected my new "2nd hand" tank this evening. Turns out it is a 125L, not 90L so that makes me happy!

Anyway, the deal with the tank was i had to take the fish that were in it, so now i have some fish that dont really fit into my plans. Im not even sure what most of them are so i thought id post pics to see if anyone has any ideas.

I know there are 2 Clown Loach and a ?Chinese Algae Eater and a Neon/Cardinal Tetra. There are 6 other fish, all the same, but i have no clue what they are.

Sorry for the bad pic quality....

Congo Tetras, nice sized one there too (saw my first adult size the otehr week, quite a shock when I was used to 4-5cm shop specimens).
 
Oh really? Cool....one of them has a dodgy eye, the biggest of the group. Looks like it has Cataracts or something....

I wasnt planning on keeping any of these fish...would my lfs take them do you reckon?

Oh, and is the yellow one definately a chinese algae eater?

I thought it was a sucking loach to be honest, identical to one I have in my cold tank- and so long as your lfs sells those fish already they should take them :)
 
Ah, ok, cool, thanks. I shall give them a call and see.
 
Chinese Algae Eater and a Sucking Loach are the same thing ;P - Get rid though, they get too big and aggressive for most tanks.
 
You will need to get rid of the clown loaches, they grow bigger than a foot
 
Thanks guys! I have found a home for all of them.

Once they have been collected i will be getting the tank planted and ready for its new tennants! :good:
