 They are mostly pearly with large single black spots each side of their back and a red flash in their tails. They are about 2" long and very active, but not aggressive at all. |

No I don't remember head and tail light being the name on the tank in the shop
It began with S - sounded like sydontis, but obviously wasn't sydontis |

100% certain they are indeed Barbus filamentosa
very hardy and very active. do better in a long tank, say at least 4ft once sexually mature (around 3.5 inch) they will spawn at the slightest decrease in water temperature. here is a sexually male and female from my school male (note the filaments on the dorsal fin)  female (note the lack of filaments)  |
