help with flying fox ( SAE ) ID

[Nativefish Boy]

MMkkk..LFS got some. I need some. Not sur eif they are real. They have the black stripe going the whole lenght of the body and into the tail, and have two small barbels. BUT the thing that threw me, was that they have a thin golden/taqn stripe just above the black one. I was told if they have that, they are fake and worthless. What do you guys think.

well first of all flying fox and SAE are not the same thing, like your topic says, with teh golden stripe on top of the black they are False SAE, they are more agressive, dont go as good a job on algae and will not eat red algae
