I Need Help Identifying 2 Fish Too !

[jessica_cheri]

hi, This is my first time coming to this board. I just found it yesterday as I was looking up some fish.
This last week I was givin a 30 gallon aquarium by someone that had to move suddenly & couldn't keep it anymore. there are 2 fish that I am trying to figure out what they are, well 3 but the third hides & I can't get a pic. of him. Hes some sort of catfish I believe.
The first one is about 4 inches long & the previous owner said its a rare Silver Dollar, but it does not look like a silver dollar to me, lol. I could be wrong though.



This second one I think its a female cherry barb, but not sure & if so, is it pregnant or just has a big tummy ? there is no male, not sure if there was one & it died.




I hope I posted pics right. I've never posted to this message board before. Any help would be apprecited. Thanks !

They are what looks like a tinfoil barb and a cherry barb.

first fish is a tinfoil barb and the second is a cherry barb which i would say is a male

Cool ! Thanks for your help. I knew that couldn't be a $200 rare silver dollar . lol

You should be aware that tinfoil barbs can get over a foot when well cared for and properly housed, and need at least a 100g tank.
