name that fish

[nimdabew]

i have two fish that i inherated when i bought my 29 gal from craigs list. i would like to know exactally what they are, but cant really do a search because i dont know what they could be.

i think the first one is a molly of some sort (the blue one, the other is a sunburst red wag)

second one, i have no idea, though the decrepid old lady said it was a sand skimmer of some sort. thanks for looking

The second pic is a Gyrinocheilus aymonieri Chinese Algae Eater, CAE
Link here to see a pic
The other two Someone else can help you with. but looks to me that they are a molly and platty. maybe wrong though.

First-Both are platies (Xiphophorus maculatus).

Second-Clearer pics are needed. I can guess Nemacheilus masyai or Nemacheilus pallidus. Look for information in www.loaches.com. I wouldn't rule out the possibility of CAE however as guessed by Mhrfield earlier.

Petsmart and Petco always sells them.

The blue fish is a Blue Mickey Mouse Platy. Also you've got a Chinese Algae eater in that second picture.

glad you got you answer but i think it was rude to call the lady old and degrepid! imo

she was decrepid. she got up from her electric wheelchair thing and almost hit me with her cane because she was trying to navigate her house with it. she was really nice though so i mean it with no disrespect. she tried to give me her python for 5 dollars but i only had the case for the tank :/
