    it's a form of tiger barb. They are very aggressive & will nip at the fins & tails of other fishes.

    This form is typically called Gold Tiger, unless they have pinkish irises, which makes them Albino Tiger Barbs. You have two males there I think. These barbs must be kept in a school. If you have just two they will chase each other and every other fish in the tank.

    With 6 or more they should be fine. No smaller fish or fish with long fins with them. They are very curious barbs and will attempt to nip at anything with long fins or slower than they are. You can keep them with Zebra Danios, which are more hyperactive.
