nm dorsal fin looks way off on both.... on my pic see how it goes the length of his back?
 
[SIZE=+2]the Labeo [/SIZE] [SIZE=+2] senegalensis looks close too, and in its description says longitudinagl lines visible in juveniles. [/SIZE]
 
i have never heard of a "victory" shark...looks like some kind of barb or maybe of the rainbow shark/black shark/red tail black shark if it has those small barbels
