Looks like a tinfoil barb to me:

Big fish, if I ever do go for a decent size tank (biggest I've got is a collection of 180's, 90's and 65L's) I'd love a few of them.

I wouldn't there hungry fella's. My tanks 125 litres but i haven't got many fish in there at the moment, mainly because this one tends to like his live food. http://www.seriouslyfish.com/profile.php?genus=Bar...

Yeah, its one of those fanciful ideas for an imaginary time in the future when I have the a) time to get a decent big tank, b) the room to setup a fish room and c) the money to finance both.
I would have a bigger tank but far in to the future. I read there the fish really requires a tank of 790 litres Where would the tv fit? the name of the fish is "tinfoil barb" the scientific name is "barbodes schwanenfeldii". they can grow to aprox 40cm and require a minimum of a 400 litre tank to flourish. They also like plants in the tank. they also like a ph level of 6.8. You could try feeding it bloodworm, but any fish that are mouth size it will eat. also try ornaments that the smaller fish can get in & out of to hide.
Defo a tinfoil barb, had 2 of them in a tank and they ate everything. Was left with a massive plec that they couldnt eat and a few corrys that they couldn't get in their mouths - not for want of trying, caught one with a corry stuck in its gob - was a swift sale to the fish shop for them after that.
