I can tell you that I just today found out that there is a shop in Copenhagen offering for sale : Ornaticauda and another species which they call ‘Deissneri Bangka’ – saying it is a wild caught fish from the area of Bangka.
They had the same – I assume – parosphromenus a couple of months ago, – its certainly not the ‘lancet-tail’ deissneri. I bought 5 fish then, – its more like bintan, but it is, I have to admit, I think a bit unusual, its seems to me to be different from the blue line types I have seen, or the supposed ‘sentang’ when I had those. Unfortunately I havent got any good photoes taken yet. Heres a very dark image, that I have tryed to lighten up.

But it really makes me curious that its wildcaught from Bangka.

This shop is usually really reliable. I have bought ornaticauda and parvulus there before, very good fish. Here is a link to the shop, – this is the link to the shop http://www.Neonfisken.dk

This is the link to the shops fish list

I will be going there tomorrow to see what it is
