I saw about 5 of these little guys all around 2-3".... they were labeled as synspilum but im not sure if they are im not familiar with any vieja species? I hope you guys can help me out... they were only $3.99 I was going to get one but I thought I might make sure what they were first...

dont think so. the black literal line marking for syn should not be so long. usually will not reach more then 1/2 of the body. From the the pic, it almost touches the gill plate. It look more like bifa or fene

some had it a little over halfway while others had it all the way..... I thought as they grow it would evetnually be halfway?

I've seen synspilum with long lateral lines more than halfway up their body so that doesn't tell me much

Not to sure about this as it might be hybrid if the lateral lines are more then halfway based on my experience. Maybe others can comment on this.
 
Whatever they are lets hope you put them into quarantine. That white on the dorsal could be lymph. (I'd need better photos to confirm).
