Probably a Bala. Here's the coloration of a bala.
Almost all the fins are edged with a wide Black band, with the front areas being bright Yellow or Orange in color. The Pectoral fins are transparent. The sides are silver with a slight Yellow sheen. The Back is Brown and the Belly area White.

My first guess is Leptobarbus hoevenii.

The only problem is it doesn't have the black markings that the bala has.
