I picked up a dozen little 1" ers a while back that looked a lot like this, they were WC collect in India "bengal" and labeled, Sold as datnioides polota "bengal". When I first got them i thought they looked like NTT, but the bar's are too clean and the body color is too yellow for a normal polta, but the bar's are too wide and complete to be a NTT.
After comparing them for a long time to the 2 species I also wondered if they are a species/subspecies that has yet to have been identified. They are about 3" now they thinned themselves down to a group of 3 who seem to have stopped bickering and get along. I'll tr to snap some pic's, they are not from mekon, I belive they are out of india cme in with a shipment of subtropical snakeheads and other indian WC's but look Very much like the ones you have . It's no freak either the seller had Dozens of them all identical.
