Default Some help needed please
Bought an aquarium of off fleabay, the water and tank were in a hell of a state, something which I have now rectified, I took the fish with me, as if I didnt he would have killed them, which I didnt want to happen, I have offloaded a few of them as they were big brutes. These are the ones that I have left, and I really need some advice on What species they are, What size do they grow too, and can they live socially with other fish, I would like add more small fish like neons, platty;s mollys etc. Thanks for you advice.











(Finally pressed the right button on phototbucket)

Hello - welcome to the forum

I can't see any pictures I'm afraid - have a look at this thread for details on how to add attachments if you're having trouble

First Picture: looks like a Keyhole Cichlid (Cleithracara maronii)

Second Picture: obviously Corydoras, but not sure exact one at moment.

Third Picture: possibly a Firemouth cichlid (Thoricththys meeki), but not 100% sure.

Fourth Picture: looks like a Zebra Loach (Botia striata) with a Clown Loach in background

Fifth Picture: Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) on left, Blue Gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus) on right

Default Corys
I think the Corys are peppered corys

Cheers for your help, are these all friendly to a shoal of little neons etc, and will they get any bigger as I only have a 180 lt rio.

The Firemouth and Keyhole Cichlids will grow quite large and I would not mix with Neons. The Angelfish depending on how large it is now will also 'snack' on smaller fish like neons if you are not careful. The loaches will be OK, but be aware they will grow quite large, in particular the Clown Loach.

Further to my original post the catfish in picture 2 is possibly Corydoras melanistius
