One of my favourite mid sized barbs is Puntius filamentosa which only gets to about 12-15cm but has lots of subtle colours and long filaments on males. Often confused with the Arulius barb which might be another option for you. Recently the Red Line Torpedos are being captive bred and look magnificent at 15cm. Puntius denisonii

There are a few giant barbs around with ever increasing variants of the tinfoil barb.

Those 2 at picture perfect are yellow fin barbs. (if thats the store you're talking about). Those things aren't even close to being done on growth! IMO they're one of the coolest ones out there.

amazing tank! yup, yellow fins get huge. I have one 18 incher, used to have two (one jumped right through my lid) and have another one growing up.
