What variety of angelfish fish is this? Didn't purchase them from a store so I have no idea what they called.

Thank you I advance.

We had all of our guppies in one tank and landed up getting some amazing babies. I found a site online (https://guppyexpert.com/guppy-fish-types/) that breaks guppies down according to tail shape and colouring, the closest match I could find was top sword, cobra but I would like a second opinion.



The picture did not come out as clearly as I would like, his colouring is actually yellow and brown. I will try to get a better picture]]> 8 Mbuna identity Wed, 29 Nov 2023 18:42:45 +0000 https://www.tropicalaquarium.co.za/threads/mbuna-identity.38671/ https://www.tropicalaquarium.co.za/threads/mbuna-identity.38671/ invalid@example.com (CichlidTC) CichlidTC ]]> 2 Goldfish Experts Please Help Wed, 30 Aug 2023 15:25:20 +0000 https://www.tropicalaquarium.co.za/threads/goldfish-experts-please-help.38511/ https://www.tropicalaquarium.co.za/threads/goldfish-experts-please-help.38511/ invalid@example.com (Xerxes) Xerxes It has double tails and is currently about 10-11cm long.
I bought it thinking it's a Fantail or an Oranda, but now I'm wondering because this guy is VERY active.
I thought all the fancies were more slow-moving and chilled?
If he is more of a Common or Comet variety, then he will definitely be too big for my 80cm/130l tank
Thanks

Any ideas on identification?
It seems to have a sort of forked tail, and moves like a maggot but I couldn't find anything similar on a Google search. It's about a centimeter long when stretched out.

Perplexed by these white grub-like things though, wriggling around in the water. The fat part of the body is about 1cm long (or a bit less). The “tail” is long and thin. I can’t really make out other details eg eyes or a mouth.

I usually move some plants from my tanks into the pond so I thought it could be an egg that survived from there but i'm not sure. I have Zebra Danios, White Clouds, silvertip tetras, neons, dwarf rainbows, gertudae rainbows, ember tetras and Gardneri killifish.

Any help would...

No one wanted to buy him as he has a broken fin. Front left fin was somehow damaged badly . It has healed now but is of no use. He is happy and settled in fine he has tripled in size over the last 3 months though. The guy at the shop said he is a synodontis altimera however his color and patter has changed almost completely since we have had him . So now I am not sure what he is. Please can someone assist me....

I got this fish with a tank I purchased. Am I correct that it's a siamese algae eater?
