Ok. So story is i was browsing local fish store and these caught my eye. Apparently they were surrendered by a lady who couldnt house them anymore they are about 7".
They look very similiar to the isok barbs or the Temoleh probarbus jullieni. They have redish orange fins.20161208_180751.jpg 20161208_181959.jpg
 
These guys seem to already be bigger then size they say for them. Worthy pickup? Are the a cool dither?
 
Well like most barbs, they're probably going to be pretty skittish if you only have two of them (they like to be kept in schools of 6+). I'd be tempted to pick them up though, if they're really 7 inches.

Will make a good dither for the size especially if there's more.
