[DanRaggyy]

do you know what barb and what tetra

 

[SombreroBanana]

Second is a black skirt tetra.

 

[DanRaggyy]

Anyone Know what type of barb it is ?

 

[TekFish]

I think it might be puntius pentazona or something similar.

 

[thereverendturtle]

Aurilius barb. I think i spelled that right....

 

[TekFish]

Actually now he mentioned it I agree with the Turtle, it looks more like an Arulius barb which means its gonna grow upwards of 4" so you might need to think about tank arrangements...

 

[DanRaggyy]

4 Inches ??

 

[DanRaggyy]

i have small bugs living on the algie out of the water near the lid is this a problem ?

not sure about first or third pic. but the second one is a black skirt tetra, very fast, not aggressive between each other or between other fish, not really teritorial. the third one is some kind of molly. the skirt tetra and the other two fish only need frakes to survive, dont forget to water change every 1-2 weeks.

Second is a black skirt tetra.

Also known as a Black Widow Tetra, but I prefer the name Black Skirt myself.
