What Kind Of Fish Is This?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Can anyone be kind enough to identify these 3 fish?

I think they look like either rosy barbs or some kind of platy, like maybe a mickey mouse platy??
That's my best guess anyway! :confused:

sure look like mickey mouse...does the black marking look like a mickey mouse head turned sideways?

Those definitely aren't a type of platy.
They're some sort of barb. We have those at the store I work at and we have them labled as Rosy Glass Barbs or something like that....I know they're ___ glass barbs though. :)

looks like gold barbs (Barbus schuberti) to me.

Looks like a gold barb from the way the colouring is, but the photo looks really yellow so it could be a rosey barb as well. Rosey barb males are pink and femals are silvery in colour.

Well sorry to proove you wrong but these 3 fish are barbus semifasciolatus in scientific name but its common name is green/half stripped barb.

Mysis, I believe you are mistaken.

I thought they looked like female(maybe?) cherry barbs.
