Hi Guys

As the title suggests I was hoping someone could properly identify these guys. They were marked wrong at the LFS and no one there had any info on them.

I know they are "Desmopunitis". But are they Johorensis, Trifasciatus or Gemellus?
I can find some stuff online about them but each site gives different info about their max sizes and which type they actually are. Most sites saying they are uncommon. Its the first time I have seen them here in Dubai, but are they really that uncommon?

I bought all 17 of them and they are really great fish. Very peaceful, very active, and tight schoolers swimming back and forth constantly, not often breaking or leaving the school, staying together, but not in a panicked manner. Swimming gracefully with medium to slow speed if that makes sense. Getting very excited for food.

They are currently housed in my 6ft 130gal with Geo. Tapojas, angels, Siamese algae eaters and leopard bush fish.
I got them a few months back and they have grown very quickly. I want to identify them properly so I know if my aquarium is suitable long term.
