Madagacar Barb?

[TheBigB]

I was at my lfs and he has some fish he calls Madagascar Barbs. I didnt get a picture of them and cant find them anywhere online. Just wondering if anyone has heard of them or could point me in the right direction.

They have a simular body type as a denison barb (long slender with two pointed tail) but is much more colorful and has a black dot over its eye and on its tail. Its a very beautiful fish, but the LFS wants 34.99 a piece for them and I was trying to find out its real name so I could try to find them somwhere else or at least find out if he is asking a fair price. Ill keep looking for a picture.

Thank You

Did it look like this ? If it does they are called filament barbs or black spot barbs for common names I just bought four that are 5 inch and got all 4 of them for $30 bucks so that's kind of expensive if they want 35 a piece
