I thought some kinf of silver koi at first, but it doesn't look like it. Maybe, Checker Barb (Barbus oligolepis)?
But this guy's mouth is for bottom feeding, not like barbs'?
Sorry, man. I'm just guessing here, maybe I'll at least steer you in the right direction... :)

thats very close. Except Red Severum's fish has its tail pointing down (heterocercal)and the one in the last pic has homocercal tail (equal on top and bottom sides). May as well be a hybrid :) It's too bad you didn't get a coupla them. Breed'em, that's gonna be like a new species :):):)
