I have three of the silver with yellowish fined ones, and one of like the second pic, what are they worth, what do they like and what are they? Mods feel free to move this post where it would make the most sense, I couldn't find a forum for barbs on here.

They are about eight or so inches, and they are always swimming around, how big do they get and where do they come from?
 
Yep that second one is definitely Hampala barb... something, it looks just like the one I have, they actually get to 14 pounds and 20 plus inches, nice.
