My family inherited a tank with a few fish. We have 2 fish that are in the pictures (not the black skirt) and they are the stars of the tank, we would like to get 2 more but cannot seem to find them anywhere since we do not know what type of fish they are.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Do an image search on Crossocheilus reticulatus to see if it comes close. The caudal peduncle marking isn't particularly strong in your fish, but there seems to be a fair bit of variation in the species.

Thank you both for responding. I was thinking a garra myself, but either way the hard part will be finding one at a pet store. Petsmart and petco don't seem to have anything like these.
