Default 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.

They are a Rosy Red Minnow... or Fat head minnow, minnows have stripes,
somewhat like a danio, but different.... ;-) clear as mud, huh?
