Hello and welcome!

They are relatively expensive for freshwater fish, but for me i like their big scales and colorful fins.
Yes, they do jump, best to have a cover.

Another nice specimen, source MonsterFishKeepers:

Is it a bit too yellow/orangish for Tor sinensis? And the lateral stripe is too diffused?

This Mahseer Journal Thread is really good. I've learnt a lot from their experience. There is very little information on the internet about Mahseer. This is one of the best collection of information about Mahseer

This is the most colourful one among the three from lfs, if it isn't T. sinensis then which species could it be? Thanks bro!

i.e. According from the lfs, this shippment was imported from Thai.

Again check in the paper:

even when less than 4 inches long fins are pink to red and the stripe is always there more or less.
