ID needed

[DIESELMACK]

Need a positive ID for these guys....got 20 of them from an importer from asia and he calls them emperors...but I want a good taxonomical ID as I have never seen them before and they werent cheap I know the flash drowns some of the color but they are blue/orange irridecent with long tarpon like white pectorals and anal fins...some of the larger ones have some spotting...they are 3 1/2"s.......thanks

I think Wes at Rare Fish had a few.

Barilius sp..

 

[DIESELMACK]

definately on the right track as the pics I found of Barilius look like them but have different finnage...they are not a longfin variety..natural fins but white and extended....thanks for pointing me in the right they are sweet azz fish!!

I was just in Wes's shop today and he has a bunch of them, but I don't know what they are called. Maybe he'll chime in here. I think he also has pics. of them in his gallery.
