feeder fish?

Yet another question. A lot of pet shops in our area sell feeder fish, they
say they are rosy barbs. But when I look up rosy barbs, that's definitely
not what they are. These fish look a bit like tiger barbs, but without the
reddish colouring.

What could they be? Are they a different type of rosy barb, or a different
barb altogether? I can't seem to find what they are. I'm from Australia,
if that helps.

Thanks for all your help.

Hey Jen,

Sounds like what you got is plain old China Barbs. You'd think anyone
would know that. Then again, maybe these sites are full of idiot
amateurs - much like most pet shops for that matter.
