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.

Here in the US, feeders are often "rosy reds" which are actually fathead
minnows. The little buggers are easy to breed and raise, hence ideal
feeders.

Your best bet is to post a photo and ask for help. Alternatively,
google for "rosy barb photos" and see what pops up.
