Ok folks... Its not very often that I cant work out an ID myself but this little beauty has me stumped...
I saw them some time ago in a local store, took a picture and thought - When I have room - I'll get a few...
Well I'm now trying to work out what the heck they are to try and get hold of some....
The photo from my old phone dosen't do them justice - they were a striking sliver with black... Unfortunatly I didnt get any other photos or a pic of the name / price tag
Any Ideas?

I bought some of the same batch. I thoroughly enjoyed keeping them, but I passed them on.
They are a species with a large distribution, and as a result are quite variable.
I could be wrong, but I think the snub nose is a result of tank breeding (these fish are Czech I think).
You often see the bent rostrum in many types of whiptail as they are liable to freak out and bash into the sides of the tank.
