If they are Garra bicornuta..then they are already maxed out at 10-12cm.
Though there are many species of them i belive!

I've moved this into the speak easy as these Garra sp. are not catfish.

They look like baby Labeo cylindricus......except I expected a long dark stripe on the flanks with those.

but they sure look like baby L cylindricus having an adult coloration.

even those red eyes are a match.

the forsal fin, does it have a hooked point? or a slightly extended first ray?

these are adult L cylindricus; as you can see they look quite a bit like your fish. not exactly the same in every detail, but still the shared characteristics are striking.

Whoops, I didn't look properly at them, they're not <em>Garra</em> for sure...

Thank you

I guess i have got the same fish.
They are so far doing good and they leave other fish alone.
