New unknown fish

I got help here before when I took over care of my son's preschool fish tank. Update on that, I brought the tank home for the summer, and separated the fish as well as I could between their 20g, and my 20g, 10g, and 5g tanks. Since I had to bag them all to transport them, I actually counted how many there were. In total there were 23 corys, and 22 endlers livebearers, all in a 20g tank at the school. And 2 of the endlers were pregnant. So even after being divided they were still very overcrowded, and I couldn't put any with my platies/ molly. I put an add in craigslist asking for a cheap larger setup and a very nice couple sold me their 50g complete setup, including 8 fish. 1 of the eight I have not been able to identify. I can not get any good shots of him, but was able to get some ok video.



I took this at feeding time, and it is the better one, about halfway through. (You can hear me telling my son to go to bed too, lol) Its the brownish (slightly orange) looking one with fancy pectoral fins. You can not see it in the video, but he has very orderly black spots also.



After moving all the fish to their new homes, and counting them, I have 78 fish...am I crazy? I feel like i should charge people to come in my home now, lol.

Thank you all for your help

39 endlers livebearers (are the females and fry colorless? or are they a different fish too?)
25 corys (either Nijssen's, aeneus, or emerald green, again they look exactly the same to me)

Hi Josh
Please check the dates on threads before replying.
This one is over 4 months old. It looks like the OP has already ID'd their fish.
Thanks!
