1 silver doller
1 spotted Pleco
2 x Kribensis (1 male 1 Female)
2 x Clown Loach
2 x Albino Catfish type things
1 X very small Ram ( Other Was eaten I think)
1x silver/grey fish with Bright Orange fins that flare up when Angry ( No idea what it is) It is about an inch long

hi hllywood h-welcome
48x15x12 is uh? 55g it's kinda hard to tell you what to add not knowing what you already have in there,you described a few fish but i can't figure out what they are.do you have any pics?

 

[hollywoodH]

i dont unfortunately.

The three stripe (LFS says thats what it called) one is quite agresive and teritorial and the one with the orange fins is definately a dwarf cichilid it has one black spot in the middle of its body. Any Idea's

 

[hollywoodH]

oh 48 inches long
12 inches depth
15 inches back

 

[mostanks]

hmmm..i'm gonna look around for some pics maybe we can narrow it down some,i'll post some pics in a minute-if you see something similar lemme know.

[hollywoodH]

is this it?

 

[hollywoodH]

no thats not it either. According to my LFS it is a version of it with orange and black finns normally laid flat that rise when they are defending territory. They also say that it is definately a dwarf Chichilid and to give them back the three strip thing which should solve some issues. so what do you think?

 

[mostanks]

how about the albino cats are they long slender or short & stubby?
this is important coz it can be a channel cat or a cory a difference of about 4' 10"s lol channel cats get huge and will proly eat all your fish

 

[mostanks]

"give them back the three strip thing which should solve some issues"
what issues?

"According to my LFS it is a version of it with orange and black"

a version of the chromide??

there is another one green chromide,and i believe that one is a fresh water fish.
