They look a bit like zebras but I don’t think they are. Loaches.com have a really good ID tool that you could try

They are. I only got them on saturday and the photos are the first time iv really seen them, they have just been hiding away.
I have also took a gamble and praying my red tail shark gets along with them when he is older
