Reminds me a little of the "mystery trio" Mats picked up in November from the Basingstoke auction, as per this thread from another forum...

I think that fish is Characins of South and Central America. The fish neme should be Moenkhausia collettii.
My fish is following, you can compare with it.

That does look very very similar the only reservation I have is the coloration in the fish I have seems more orange but other than that it's a closer match than anything I've been able to find.
