I am somewhat of a newbie when it comes to tropical fish and would appreciate some assistance with identifying a certain fish species.
I had started two weeks ago a 30 gallon tank with live plants, driftwood and so forth. I have since added 5 ghost shrimp, 1 fancy guppy, 4 plain guppies and 5 fish that I am having trouble identifying.
When I purchased the unidentified fish in a small fish store in China Town here in Toronto I was told that they were cherry barbs but they look nothing like the photos I find on the internet.
The closest they come to image wise is either a tiger barb or a serpae tetra. They have a habit of dancing around one another and displaying their top fins spread wide, they chase one another and when they feed they go into what I would call a frenzy. I am hoping someone can help me pin down what species they are. Thanks.
These are the best photos I can get to date. The only thing is that the photos show them as silver/metallic but to my eyes they appear a slight pink / transparent somewhat.
