Take a look here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06OzGWwkcR0
and then look for the same fish here: http://www.fishbase.org/identification/ ... us=Puntius
Or, it could be this one: Puntius (Dawkinsia) filamentosa “Filament Barb” is another beautiful cyprinid that grows long “filaments” from the dorsal fin. The body is silver to green color with a large black spot just before the caudal fin. The tail has two red and black stripes on the top and the bottom of the fin.

Re: Newbie setting up a loach tank.
Just a thought - I have not chosen barbs for my aquarium as most species including Dennison's Barb prefer a temperature much cooler than my Clown Loach for long and healthy life and I will not compromise one species for the other.
6 x Clown Loaches all 30 years of age on 01.01.2024, largest 11.5", 2 large females, 4 smaller males, aquarium 6' x 18" x 18" 400 ltr/90 uk gal/110 US gal. approx.
Re: Newbie setting up a loach tank.
Clown loaches come from Borneo and Sumatra. If you look into the barbs from there, the temperature will almost certainly match
