Possibly Poculi's.. there are a few very similar species and probably some undocumented ones too.

How large are they?
In my case, the sizes are very uniform: all of mine are a tiny bit above 2", right below the species max limit. If they are above 2.1", they are probably not.

How long did you have them?
Mine started very skinny, within about 3 months they became much fatter....yours look like they started fattening but can do more.

I just got these about 2 weeks ago. The one who is getting the dark red tail is probally 2in to 2 1/4.
Thank you for putting them up for some reason I can never get pics to post, even when posting on other forums.

They do have the reflective stripe, do any of the others have the reflective stripe or is it exclusive to Poculi.

thay look really good, and the reflective stripe sounds lovely - but must be hard to portray properly in a photo. those stripes at the front half of the fish are interesting patterns :D
