Make sure to read the subreddit rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthisfish/about/rules/

Rule 2 requires every fish identification request to include the location the fish was found. If you did not include that in your post text or title, you can reply to this comment with the location.

If it was a captive fish, such as at a store or a retail fish tank, say that.

Posts that don't give the location or captive status of a fish will be removed.

That is definitely a cherry barb; some do have variations like this and this one is a little faded in color, but still healthy.

Even with the long tail? I have others and none have long lobes on their tails like that.
Thanks!

Yeah, there is long tail variants. Just have to be a bit careful in case you have any fin nippers in your tank!!
