[FishRunner]

Hi, Been a while since i've been on here and i've just got my tank all set back up and running nice after a BIG clean. I was wondering if anyone knew what type of fish this is i have, i've had him about a year and he is about 6" long and about 3" deep (Body) sorry about the pic i just took it quickly

I can swear i've seen this before, i think CFC showed it to me. Can't remember though, because i didnt particularly like it.

P.T.

If I had to make up a name for it I'd call it the 'Stars and Stripes Tinfoil Barb', or possibly George.

I actually saw a big school of those at a zoo once, they have a whole amazon river exhibit. They were huge!!!
