I inherited this fish recently and I can't seem to figure out what he is. I've been looking and looking (and looking) at pictures and I can't seem to find one that matches:

He's the orange guy with black spots (not the Serpei Tetra that appears on a couple of shots). Sorry the quality isn't the best.

He's about 3 inches long, very peaceful, and seems to prefer the bottom portion of the tank. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
Looks like a barb. RTR will probably be along directly and let you know for sure.

Ha! You spoke too soon - I am not sure. It could be a Green Barb Barbus semifasciatus (not a Green Tiger Barb) or it might be out-of-color Odessa Barb. If the former, they get 2x Tiger size.

Thanks you! You might be right on with the green barb guess. I couldn't find much, but I came up with a few pics and they look pretty close close. Anyone know where I might be able to find a decent profile?
