Hello can anybody identify my fish??

[saskie]

Just wondering if anybody out there can help me identify my fish. About 1 1/2 inches long, totally red in colour but is "see through" if that makes sense. It has very large black eyes so it's nocturnal. Friendly fish no aggression whatsover. The nearest i have found to it is the flame cardinal but it isn't that. I think its a cardinal of some decription though. It is 8 yrs old now and i cannot remember the name of it.
So, can anybody help me please. Thanks in anticipation. Steve.

A flame cardinal is a marine fish. If its some type of cardinal, it'd be marine.

I think this needs to get bounced over to salty.
