what fish are those with the vertical stripes? are they hard to come by? they look really nice :)

I was gonna ask the same question.
 

Big dogg... have any links on Info fir the "Opsariichthys bidens"?

I like them but need more info on them... Growth rate is the main Q I have... followed by anything else I can get... water, skittish, tankmates, how aggressive is "aggressive"...

Thanks any info is perfect:D

The stripes are the males, right?

from what i have right now, they are in waters of temperature of around 77-78 , they are a lil skittish as all barbs are , tankmates i have right now are as u can see in the picture and it works great, no aggresion , and i have a great run-on sentence here haha :D

from what i heard , opsariichthys gets to 12" , zacco get to 8" , i'm still not sure which one mine is but now im leaning more to op.

for more info, i would ask Wes ( fugupuff) , he has first hand top quality info on them : D

And yes, the vertical stripe ones with longer fin ARE the males, the one with horizontal stripe is female .... or at least thats what i think they are : ) and hope they r
 
From looking at your pics and the jaw shape I agree with "opsariichthy"
