Question About Tinfoil Barbs

[justasking]

I recently purchased 3 fish that the pet store listed as "tin foil barbs". This is the only photo I have of them, sorry it is not better. But can someone advise me on whether I have the Barbonymus altus or the Schwanenfeldii?

Thanks!

Sorry, no help from me, but, what size tank are they going into?

It's an outdoor pond of approx 220 gallons.

Sounds good!

Thanks! The tinfoils seem to be enjoying it. They have discovered lots of new foods they weren't getting in the pet store. Pond snails, duck weed, etc. I'm just hoping these are the large version of tinfoil barb. They certainly eat enough to fill out a 15 inch frame.

I'm sure they are mate... 15" at least imo.
