Need Help Identifying Fish (Pic Attached)

[LiNa37]

Hi,
I recently got some fish which I can't accurately identify. The person at the store said that they were elegant rasbora (Rasbora elegans) but when I went online the pictures I found looked nothing like what my fish look like. So I'm attaching a picture and hopefully you guys can tell me what they are. Thanks in advance.

Rasbora vulcanus?

Well, I went and tried to look up Rasbora vulcanus and there's not really alot of info on them, but what I did manage to find said that they are supposed to be red, but these guys are just sort of silver. I know the lighting kinda sucks in the pic, so here's another.

Take a look at this link:

Hope this helps, Keith.

I think you got it skins

Or a rasbora paviei (also known as paviana)? I looked at the sumatrana pics and they look exactly like these do on some... but in others the sumatrana have reddish fins..?

Edit: Hmm... having done some more googling I've found this: Scientific name: - Rasbora sumatrana, Specific name: paviei... so perhaps there are regional varieties?

They do look nice

Okay, thanks guys! I'm positive that I've finally found what my fish are! While they're not actually rasbora paviana, I wouldn't have found out what they were if you hadn't mentioned them, since I was reading an article about the rasbora paviana and they started to describe species which are similar. My fish are rasbora laticlavia, and what the article says is this:

"The most prominent distinguishing characters for R. laticlavia would appear to be the presence of black dots on the operculum and below the lateral stripe which is curved ventrally and extends from the caudal peduncle as far as the pelvic fins."

I had to look really close to see the black dots on the operculum, but they are there, even if you can't see them in the picture. Thanks again!
