I think they look like either rosy barbs or some kind of platy, like maybe a mickey mouse platy??
That's my best guess anyway!

Those definitely aren't a type of platy.
They're some sort of barb. We have those at the store I work at and we have them labled as Rosy Glass Barbs or something like that....I know they're ___ glass barbs though.

Looks like a gold barb from the way the colouring is, but the photo looks really yellow so it could be a rosey barb as well. Rosey barb males are pink and femals are silvery in colour.

Mysis, I believe you are mistaken.

Looks an aweful lot like a gold barb.
