Im sure its a Cyprinid, most likely a barb.. what species it is... im still looking for, only two i have found atm...
Puntius lineatus or lined barb, i found their lines became spots when they got big but i dont think to this extent...
Or (and you better bloomin hope not!!)
Cyclocheilichthys apogon, they seem to vary a lot as youngsters, some deeper in the body than others and some with red fins, some without... but the end is the same for this monster...

Im just going to keep looking and hope i find something else lol
Its a long story how it got there but I have an unknown fish in my tank. I have found pictures of somewhat similar fish but no cigar. It is bright silver with rows of black dots running lengthwise. It has a long dorsal fin and small barbels which dont show on my crude photo. It is not aggressive (so far) and for some reason I think it is a juvenile at 4 inches long. Any thoughts?
