I got this fish at a pet shop they said it's a burma silver shark. But I can't find no info. anywhere about them. I think the pet shop has no clue. Can anyone help?

I want to know about the long thinner ,tan and brown stripped one not the tinfoil barb. I have much better pics. of just that fish but they're to big for this forum

That sucks that you can't post any of them...I am having a hard time discerning what the other one is from the pic which is here posted...any way that you could post them on a different website or send them to me? If you wish to send them to me, I would need a pm, because I will not give out my addy to the entire board.

They almost look like SAEs or close relatives to me. Perhaps the flying fox?

they're in a 55 gal. they're about 4.5in+
If you look at the pic. on the link you can see a smmall white cat in the backround right behind this fish. just to give ya an idea of there size. they can eat up to 6 guppies in a feeding.
