I have 4 of these now, that I picked up as Puntius everetti at a closeout price at work (Petsmart - Everett). They were originally $8, I got them for $1.75. They had been boring and colorless in the store and I felt I was taking pity on them. After about 4 months with them now, I've finally figured out what they REALLY are, and I was wondering if they're something you can get.

They are extremely difficult to photograph without getting a blur, or washing out all the color. When in "the mood" the males get a bright pink patch on the top!

oh yeah, they occasionally are referred to as melon barbs.
