Hi,

Can anyone help me identify those fish ? I know it's silver something but i don't know the rest. Maybe it's some kind of barb. They were with red-tailed barb at the store

I got two of those right now. The woman at the store told me there would be no problems with my gold barbs,giant danios, rainbow shark

Hard to tell from poor photo, but it looks like a tinfoil barb (Barbonymus schwanenfeldii)

From the second set of pics, I'm not so sure they are tinfoils

If you have a planted tank and are considering this fish bad idea. This fish is trying to eat my plastic plants. It is breaking part of the fake palnts.

Aside from that the fish is doing well. Is it a very curious fish while beng skittish at the same time. It seems to know his owner.
