Fish Identification And Advice Please

[Lisa Case]

Hello everyone. I need help fast, if that's okay.

This photo of my extremely bullyish fish is one which is biting and killing or even eating all others in tank and I have put him in a breeding chamber but cant establish its name or what to do. My poor fish are frantic. I cant just take him to shop cos they feel he is too viscious. I did buy him from a shop though but ages ago. He has always done this but I have just tried to add new fish again. The shop will stop me purchasing more at this rate.

Please can you advise?

Thanks.

Oh sugar, I cant upload a photo from my pc, it asks for an a smaller upload size and I cant work out how to adjust that on my mobile camera. Hmmm...

Can you describe the fish as the link not working.

Okay, it is slim, with a woody, light dull brown body, which is slighty red in a way too. It has a tail which is like a delicate like V shape and pointed at both tips; it waves a lot as he swins; elegant. S/he is about two inches long at present.

It has the side gills which look dark and a black line which goes from there to the eyes as though he has gothic eyeliner on; the fins are transluscent white.

It has a blue eye lids. He lives under the slates I put in there and he stalks the other fish and nips them; bullying. He can move so fast. He hides a lot when he see's me move past the tank. He loves to rummage around bottom of tank, rearranging stones and slates. He often sits under the slates and just observes before jumping out to try to nip fish. I thought his name had something in it that meant fairy, cos of his delicate fins etc. A handsome fish! Deceptively passive looking. You can see his individual scales which are very neat looking and lined very slightly and delicately with black.

I have an idea if this info is not enough; if I were to put the photo on my 'online' blog, would that link work on here?

Hope this helps.
