ID this Barb for me, please.
I ordered some Checker Barbs and my supplier sent me these guys. They're not Checker Barbs, and I haven't been able to figure out exactly what they are. My apologies for the crappy photo quality on my iTouch. |

Re: ID this Barb for me, please.
They look like something called the Banded Barb (Puntias pentazona). Your fish have long black vertical lines that Checkered Barbs don't have.

Re: ID this Barb for me, please.
Yeah, they look like they're baby 5-banded barbs. I was hoping it was going to be one of the little weird African barbs, but oh well. Thanks guys.

Re: ID this Barb for me, please.
I'm no ichiologist, but I'm sure that they are not 5 banded barbs.
There are a few multiple numbered banded barbs though, even one just discovered in Borneo.... (not yours) but check out this... Eirmotus octozona - The Free Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Encyclopedia Anyone Can Edit - The Aquarium Wiki False Eight banded barb?
