    I was given some fish by a family that was moving. I think the fish I am trying to identify are in the Tetra family, but I'm not positive.

    One of them is a 'round', silver fish. I do not think it is a silver dollar, but again, I'm not sure. It has a shape similar to an Angel fish. This fish is about 2" long.

    The other fish is silver body, black stripe running from about mid-way the body and continuing to the tail. The ventral fin is red, and the tail has a lighter red. Right now this fish is about 3" long

    I think I spot creamsicle mollys (the orange one to the far right bottom and the one that is towards the middle bottom)
    a variatus (the one with the orange end to his tail fin)
    white skirt tetras (the ones to the far left)
    Hasemania nana ...silver tipped tetra (the one to the top right side)

    Yes, I bought the creamsicle mollys a couple of months ago. Thank you for identifying my mystery fish. I thought they were Tetras, and you confirmed it! Thank you very much!!
