thanks. They are really cool little fish. Follow my bala sharks around like they are bala sharks. Wish the pictures showed the red coloration towards the mouth better.

just went through fishbase, and couldnt find any pictures that looked like them, but it is late, so hope someone can help.
 
I'd say they are Osteochilus hasseltii, hope this helps :)
 
they could be that, the only thing is that they have so much red and hasseltii doesnt seem to have any or at least in the pics i say. But definately close to it.
 
alright fine you win. Thats what i get for not looking to see if there is more than one picture on fishbase.:irked:
 
:D ;) :)
 
whatever they are , there pretty darn cool looking , simillar body to the atf
