I bought three of these today.The shop didn't know what they were but suspected they may be members of the Hemiodus family.
I haven't been able to track them down to get a positive ID,can anyone help?
They are about 6cm long at present,fast moving and fairly chunky in appearance.Very pretty in a muted,understated way with irredescent scales and hues of gold and bronze/pink.One specimen has salmon pink anal/pectoral fins,the other two have clear fins.
They may not be monsters yet,but I suspect they have a lot of growing to do,so I hope you don't mind me posting them here:)
Picture aren't great,sorry.

Agree, but not seen them with red in the fins.
