I think pics would help a lot. It reminds me of playing "guess who".

colours sound like it could be one but yeah 10" might be a little on the big side.

A long finned variety might just stretch to 10", but that was the best guess i could come up for a barb that wasn't a tinfoil and sort of matched the description ish.
Its either not a barb or its not 10" IMO
