an anybody identify this reddish fish?

Sorry for the condition of the photographs enclosed, but between this
fish being some what camera shy, and the limitations of this cast-off
cam-corder, and of course, "Murphy's Law", a main thread woven deeply
within the fabric of my life, this is the best that I could get of
him/her.

I'd say it's a cherry barb, Puntius titteya:

They can be much more strongly red than that - I've seen breeding
males get this red:

Likely a cherry barb, but it's difficult to tell for sure.

I know that I'm asking for a miracle here, because it's so small, making
it extremely difficult to photograph, but please try.
Thank you very much for all your efforts. Pax
Vobiscum,...~Dean.

go back to the LFS and find out what else was in the tank with the pl*co you
purchased. my hunch is that there will more than likely be livebearers
(mollys or platies). eggs usually will not last long in a tank full of
perpetually hungery fish. something that can swim and hide has a
tremendously better chance at getting caught up into an unsuspecting bag,
while the eggs take quite a while longer for the fry to reach that size. to
exemplify; it could take anywhere around two-three weeks for a fry to reach
that size from an egg, a livebearer can be born that big. its a mater of
surviving one day vs surviving two-three weeks without being eatin.

just my two-cents. best of luck.

Somebody else asked this, but I didn't see an answer. Why do people say
"pl*co" instead of pleco?

Thanks,

It's impossible to tell from those photos. Can you give an accurate
description of it? Does it look like a catfish? Tetra? Cichlid?

It's a superstition that if you write out PLECO yours will soon die.
So people started writing PL*CO instead.
