What kind of fish do I have in this picture?!

[tcassidy]

I bought these fish from a small local aquarium store and I can't remember what the name of these fish are?!? I tried getting a good picture but they're rather spastic and kept moving so.... Have a look and take a guess please. it appears to have tipped yellow fins in the males which kind of look like horns from a distance.

Lovely fish, but they should have a densely planted tank preferably with some floating plants otherwise they will jump if they are startled ! Make sure they have a tight cover and preferably block openings with screen or other covering.

It has quite a few live plants in it and those should take off soon enough. The tank has a different design too it as well the top of it is all glass except for the opening in the very centre that is covered with a screen.
