I believe they are some type of barb but I'm not too sure. They are about 5" long, very active, very fast swimmers. Thanks

albino tiger barbs..the red eyes give it away as an albino. my lfs has tons of these.
She said they were 5", so that would be pretty big for a tiger barb. I'm going to have to go with Mia on this one and say albino tinfoil barbs

yeah you're right i missed the 5"....that is kinda big for tiger barbs...
and this is kinda off topic..but whats with all the albinos lately? thats all i've been seeing at my lfs. i found albino danios yesterday, they also had albino tiger barbs, an albino common pleco, and albino chinese algae eaters!
i asked them if they had anything with any color! everything was white!
Tinfoil seems right. Tiger barbs still have stripes when they are albino.
