Lyre tail molly, I think.

Oh, a female one too.

Thanks for putting me in the right direction.

I looked online at pictures of what you suggest. It doesn't appear to look the same (fin shape in particular). Do you think it could be a balloon mollie?

I take it then that if it is from the Molly family it would mix well with any type of molly?

To be honest it looks like a massivly obbese gold/albino long finned danio but its a tricky one

could be a massive female guppy but i dont think it it for some reason

Here is another picture

what is the fish above it? i dont think its a danio tbh is it a fast swimmer..............do you have any danios?

 

[fluttermoth]

Yes, could be a balloon molly; or very pregnant; I've never kept mollies and don't know much about them tbh.

I dont think its a live bearer i think its a donio. you should goole or youtube albino or gold danios its hard to be 100 by the pic but if you saw some pics of other fish you should be able to tel if thats what you have

Yes I have two pearl danios. It was sold to me as a gold danio a while ago, but now it has matured I'm not quite sure hence the post. I wouldn't say it was fast (maybe the belly holding it back) but it does interact with the 2 danio I have then it just swims on its own at the bottom of the tank

Yip have been googling and youtubing to see..

Thanks

I would say its behaviour would be down to its size.........ive never seen a danio as fat as him......but saying that those fish are so overbred he could have some kind of internal problem

Looking at you tube and google I don't think it is either........ Thanks though

 

[fluttermoth]

No worries; at least you've found out what it is

I hope not. Don't know what to do to get it slimmer ...... The tread mill won't fit in the tank

Lol maybe he's just big boned
