Some Pics Of Some Fish I Dont Know!

[Swart Skaap]

Hey guys,

Ive been down to my lfs and have taken some pics of some really nice fish, seens as im english and in denmark i cant tell whats what with the names!

You guys got a clue from these terrible pics ive taken?

These are great looking fish, fast swimmers as u can see! They are a little transparent with yellow fins! Tope feeders def! and their pectoral fins remind me of Flying fins fins as they are quite high up the body and look almost upturned!? Any ideas? about 3cm in size

Now these little beauties are very beautiful! quite long in length, maybe around 7-8 cm? Slender bodies with thick red and black stripes running the length of the body!

..and i know what this is, a few people have them on here, but i took pictures for you guys to see anyway!

The bottom one is an axolotl, they're amazing creatures, never fully leaving the lava stage, although they can be made to un-naturally. They are really interesting as they can re-grow injured or lost limbs, even eyes!

heres a good site

I am sure the first one is a type of rainbow fish.
Not sure of the exact type but it is close to this one.
Common Name: Forktail Blue-eye
Family: Pseudomugilidae
Scientific Name: Pseudomugil furcatus Nichols, 1955
Other Names: Popondetta furcata Allen, 1982; Popondichthys furcatus Allen, 1987
Description
The body colour is yellow-green in both males and females. Dorsal and anal fins in male transparent, with narrow yellow margin. Pelvic and pectoral fins often tinged with red. Caudal fin lobes yellowish with black dorsal and ventral margins. Females caudal fin lobes yellowish, pectoral and pelvic fins transparent. Outer part of second dorsal fin yellowish.

This species was originally named Pseudomugil furcatus in 1955. However, in a review of the family Melanotaeniidae in 1980, they were separated from the Pseudomugil genus and placed in a new genus Popondetta, and were named Popondetta furcata. It was then later discovered that the genus name Popondetta was previously used and in 1987 they underwent another name change and were called Popondichthys furcatus. Two years were to pass and following a review of the Pseudomugil genus in 1989, the Blue-eye group, including Pseudomugil furcatus, were placed in their own family Pseudomugilidae and they were returned to their original name Pseudomugil furcatus.

I agree with Santos about the first pics, i have 3 in my community tank, commonly known as celebes rainbows i believe, will not grow anymore than 2 inches, good for community tanks with small fish and yes they love to play int he filter outflow and swim against the current near the surface

Yep. the first are rainbows
The second are tiny baby red snakeheads - 4 foot monsters.
The third are axalotl which isn't a fish at all (of course) but a larval salamader.

Middle pictures are definately juvinile Channa microplets, commonly known as the redline snakehead. They are the largest and most aggressive of the snakehead family reach 4 feet in length and will even attack people that come to close to their nests. Best left at the store or better in the wild.

To add my tuppence-worth, the Danish description Rod slangehoved is a direct translation of the English term Red snakehead.
