I got this tank on craigslist with the fish. I can't remember what he called them but the silver fish have been nipping the tails of everything. Of these fish, what can be kept with neon tetras in a 90 gallon community and what cannot? All I can recognize are the kribs and 2 serpae tetras. Could someone ID the rest for me?

ok:
1 looks like a rosy tetra more than Serpae's - should be fine with neons (as long as you have a school of them)
2 looks like a deformed Bolivian Ram - should be fine with neons
3 looks like a kribensis - a brackish fish which needs salt in their water
4 looks like a brichardi - a brackish fish which needs salt in their water

Brichardi is brackish? i thought it was from lake Tanganyika and needs hard water ?

kribensis...read about them being slightly brackish all the way to acidic and very soft water conditions.

but I agree on all the rest

Pic #1 has Columbia Tetras and a Rosy Tetra (behind one of the CTs)

3+4 are right but they are not brackish.
 
Iv also never heard od 3/4 being brackish ever...

Don't know about the Brichardi, but I've never heard of a krib being brachish. I always kept mine in freshwater, and they bred well and did great for me....
 
pic #1 has a bleeding heart tetra behind a columbian. not sure what the fish in the very center is
 
sorry, didn't mean brackish... but I always thought at least the brichardi's needed some kind of salt. That's a main reason I never got them but always liked them. The kribs I was surprised about but read somewhere that they were. I kept Kribs in freshwater a few years ago and they didn't do well.
