Can you guys help ID these please? The last one is a little brighter and more gold if that makes a difference.

Those are the same species as mine. Neolissochilus stracheyi aka thai blue mahseer. Great find and price. Go grab a few.

Awesome thanks tydus. I just wanted to make sure they weren't some random barbs. Do you have any info on them? Growth, preferred parameters, food, and all that.

To be honest, I'm just as new to these fish as you. I don't really have any knowledge about their growth rates and preferred parameters but I keep my temp at 82 degress F. Thai blue mahseers are tropical so anything in the range of 80-84 should suffice. All I know is that they're from clean, fast flowing streams and rivers in the wild. I have a lot of flow in the tank and they enjoy it. In my opinion, they're not picky with parameters as long as water is pristine. I don't test my water parameters at all and they're doing great. Very hardy fish but I read that it's a must to add dechlorinator right after taking out the water and while adding water back to the tank during a water change. I change about 40%-50% a week. They're not too picky with food, I'm feeding them hikari lionhead sinking goldfish pellets and hikari sinking carnivore pellets. There's not a whole lot of info about mahseers on the net so I will try my best to document their growth and share it with you guys.
Sounds good brother. Good luck and I'll stay posted. Thanks tydus.
P.s. I picked up three

all the tall backed ones are tor mussulah, which has only been imported twice in the past., very rare, and come from different location.
The fish on the top is a "tor mosal" which is synonymous with tor putitora. Nobody knows what this fish really is, its that rare. Only imported once in the past, about 15 fish, and only a few floating around remaining.
simply can't get them, last 2 I had, I wanted to keep for myself, and someone offered me a huge sum of money, and I had not choice but to sell it. I will post a picture of it up soon.
