Default Red line Torpedo barb (Indian Flasher Barb)!! Wow, awesome fish!

I saw these at Big al's and I must say they are one of the best freshwater fish in my opinion, they get up to 6 inches and they were in a tank full of cardinals, and many other freshwater fish.

Their colours are *much* more vibrant than in that pic...so much so that I had to ask whether they were painted (they're not, by the way).
