I haven't been able to identify these guys, but I think that they are long finned dory. I love them and they are so active!

I don't know what a "dory" is, but those look like long-finned gold zebra danios to me. They are the same as normal zebra danios in care and appearance, these guys are just gold-colored and have long fins.



And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

hca,

How many do you keep together. I have two and they seem happy, but if they do better in schools, I would get more.

i have 7 , yours would be MUCH happier with 4-6 more friends, depending on how much room is in your tank.
When getting more- make sure you get the long finned type- the reg short finned seem to nip at the long finned ones more.

There are several color morphs- but the goldens are the prettiest in my opinion.

how big is your tank?? and what ya got in there?

My tank is 38 gallons. And I have the following:

4 kribesis female kribensis cichlids (I am returning three of them for a male...long story...)
2 swordtails (they had 41 fry last week, which are in a different tank now)
5 tetra
2 silver hatchets
2 male dwarf guoramis
1 bala shark (I think I may bring him back too. The tank is too small for him.)
1 Black lace angel
2 (now identified) danios
2 pleco
1 rainbow shark

This is my first tank, so I am learning as I go. I've attached a picture of the tank. And if you are interested all my tank pics are at:

What is your tank make up?

How many neon's do you have in that tank? I had some, but one by one, somebody in the tank ate them...
