1 rainbow (not sure what type, the one with the red fins)

Very good. Except there are no CAE, they are SAE (Siamese, not Chinese) . And the Chiclid is a apistogramma cacuatoidies.
 

loaches r cool

Ok, since there was pretty much a winner (actually several) I will post the answer. I have labeled them all in this picture:


1,2,3 are Siamese Algea Eaters, although I will not count #1 if anyone missed it
4,5,6 are Turquoise Rainbows
7 is a Dwarf Neon Rainbow
8,9 are female Congo Tetras
10 is a male Congo Tetras (although I didnt require anyone to discern m/f)
11 is a Chinese Algea Eater (although didnt require anyone to id what type of fish it was - not enough to tell, but enough to count it as a fish)
12 is a Apistogramma Cacuatoidies (Dwarf Cichlid fine by me too)
13,14,15 are Clown Loaches
16 is a common Pleco
17 is a Leapord Pleco
18 is really tough to ID and I am not counting it but it is in there, and appears to be my skunk loach. This is the only one not ID'd by anyone (didnt expect anyone to ID it anyways) so here is a more zoomed in picture just to show its a loach, you can just make out the few barbels on its mouth:



So anyone who got close then congrats! Here is your virtual pat-on-the-back :thm: I know I asked the experts to hold off, so if you got them too but didnt post than congrats to you too :thm:

You definately win the "most fish" as well as the "most types of fish" (in one small area) award.
Very cool picture and nice fish. :cool:

hehehe. Yeah when my friend watches the fish when we are gone on vacation he always says when he feeds em there doesnt seem like there are that many fish but then they come out of the woodwork...literaly ;)

When its feeding time and you stand infront of the tank they all come 'front and center'. Anyone like to donate me a bigger tank?
