Has anyone heard of or seen this fish in their LFS? The litany of names it is known as is:

African Barb
African Banded Barb
African Fire Barb
African Orange Barb
Blue Banded Barb

puntius sachsi
barbus fasciolatus

I don't remember running across any of these in my LFS, and am wondering if I would have to buy the fish mail order.

I don't remember ever seeing those in person. There is one auction on Aquabid for them though: AquaBid.com - Your Aquatic Auction Website

Thanks for the link. I'll check the LFS again, but I don't think I'll find them there.
