    Tinfoil red tail barb.

    Needs to be kept in a shoal of at least 6, or can get nervous and nippy.
    They can grow very large so need a big aquarium, if it's not big enough they'll get aggressive.

    Yep, I looked into getting some a few years ago and had to opt out when I realised that they grow to 13-15 inches.
