Can anyone I.D the big barb similar to tinfoils that has black horizontal stripes on its tail?
 
Pic please
 
Thanks to ithurts and guppy for their replys. I goofed, as ithurts pointed me to a site with the scientific name and its a Charicin, not a barb. I googled it then for pics and even videos, I emailed others to get more behavioral info on it.
 
Ya apparantly they go by many names "flagtail" and some fe fi fo fum thing haha. And from what I see in the for sale sections 28-35$ each:nilly: I wouldnt mind a few, but if they were aggressive, or died thats a big chunk of change down the drain.
