I just bought a pair of new fish I have no idea about. They are off-white in
color, with all the fins in an orangish color. It's eyes are also orange,
and it's mouth is downturned.
I hope someone can identify this fish, or give me an address I can forward
the picture of it to,
Thanks

Difficult without a picture, but my first guess would be some sort of
catfish, probably corydorus. Forward the pic to marcusfoxatntlworlddotcom
(adjust as appropriate)

Maybe an albino rainbow shark? Do they look like this guy:

It would help if you posted a picture to alt.binaries.aquaria.

As-Salaam A-laykum.
It's a common fish known as Buyinhasteous repentatleisureous :-)
AKA the Six foot carnivorous fish from hell.
They can climb out of their tank you know!
Or maybe it's an albino Cory?
