The following description is either a eunotus or a rotpunkt. I got both but the bags were not labeled. The fish are not in the greatest shape, and are not very well colored.
#1 - (male) Basically a drab grey fish so far, with vertical barring that is feint and a caudal peduncle spot that is almost a full crescent. Eye stripe is only below the eye. Front edge of pelvic fin black. Edge of anal fin black with red/orange adjacent then blueish. Lateral stripe, when present is not quite solid.. it fades between the bars. There is a distinct gap between the posterior end of the lateral strip and the caudal spot.
#2 - Much more chromatic than #1. Eye stripe extends through eye above and below. Lateral stripe a solid, but micro zigzag. Domonant male has lateral strip that fades to spots when aggressive. Caudal spot a dot no wider than the lateral stripe.
My guess... #1 = eunotus, #2 = rotpunkt
