I believe it is some kind of barb. I would suspect either a rosy barb (though they seem too gold) or a gold barb, but I can't make out enough of the markings to see for sure.

I am guessing here, so beware of that

Here is a link to some photos. Sort of limited but a place to start.

thank you, thats them, they are gold barbs, great fish we didn't think they would live as long as they have as they have gone through a whole removel of the tank, they definatly are peaceful fish but huge eaters, once one put a whole pea in his mouth, i could see it in his mouth for about half an hour haha,
thank you for that, i haven't seen them in any pet shops at all

Yep, definitely Gold's. That's what I currently have in my tank. They are great and very peaceful. Also pretty common from what I've seen they've been in almost every store I've seen.
