It's too deep-bodied to be melanotaenia.

aeneus type. To me it looks like one of my aneaus, There is so much colour variation within the aeneus group. I agree that although the yellow on the fins it isnt a melanotaenia. Sorry if this isnt what you were hoping and I maybe wrong .

ya.. i know aeneus come in many colors.. just the long snout on these fish is what was throwing me off as this is way longer then any aeneus i have kept or am keeping at the moment.
was waiting to see if Ian would come and lend a hand at the ID of these guys

Just to let all you guys know I will away from my computer from Thursday (18th) morning untill Wednesday (23rd). I will be taking my lap top, but am not sure what access I will have. I am going to the Canadian Association of Aquarium Clubs convention in London, Toronto, where I will be talking Corys and judging catfish.
That was from
Ian's site
