The two in the middle are lemon barbs. Be warned that these guys will eventually get up to 2ft+ and are usually pond fish. They grow much faster than regular tinfoil barbs and eat a lot including all plants, crustaceans, and little fish. Usually runs about $15-20 each for 3"-5". They'll get 10-15" fast.

They can be kept alone, but usually do better in groups of 4+ and they school/shoal too.

I have a 140 gallon tank but think they might be to big for my plans. Appreciate the info

No problem. They will definitely get too big for a 140g. Were you looking for dithers or schooling fish in general?

they look more like tin foil barbs.
