Hi,
Look like regular barbatus to me. They have some serious fin and barbel erosion which may be confusing your identification. Keep 'em cool, plenty of meaty food and they'll soon look like barbatus again! C112 have a more uniform (and darker) colouration - with less of the obvious patterning your fish are exhibiting.

I'm sure they'll look great in a month or two.

Mark.
