In my fairly-uneducated (as far as varieties of fish go, other than the common ones) opinion it looks kinda like a Tetra of some sort...maybe a Neon?

What kind of fish is pictured in your signature? It's cool!

[Nix]

Looks like a 'stressed' neon to me

Can u maybe get some more pics?

 

[Nix]

its not a neon its to large to be a neon and like i had it for like 3 years and thats what it looks like when its not stressed. So i have no idea what it is

There is a 'false' neon, Paracheridon simulans but it is pretty similar in size and colouration to a neon. I would have said from the pic it looks like a neon with neon tetra disease, where the top half of the body becomes a pale grey colour. It definitely looks like a Paracheridon or cheridon species, by the body shape and adipose fin.

Well it might of mated with your other fish behind your back! Well, it does look fat.
