ID These Barbs Please!

At my LFS they said they were tinfoils but the fins were gold and i knew that these were not tinfoils because i seen one right next to it and it looked different and more active. Sorry for the bad quality they kept moving

look like yellow fin tinfoil barbs to me.

Looks like they could possibly be Lemon Fin Barbs (Hypsibarbus wetmorei). They are an awesome Barb and are very hard to find....at least in the Mid South. They also get huge when full grown.

Wow!!!! Those Lemon Fins are HUUUUGE! Great looking fish! Where did you find them for sale if you don't mind me asking? I have been looking for some for a while but have found none for sale at any of my LFS and searches online have not found much as well.
