Can anyone ID this grilled fish from Thailand

[crimzen_arc]

Hi everyone,
I've been out for while. Last few months have been crazy busy and exciting. And it ended with a great trip to Thailand! Anywho, while I was in Chinatown, Bangkok I purchased this small grilled fish from a street vendor. Quite unassuming but it turned out to be extremely tasty! I'd like to id this fish just out of curiosity. A fishing guide was able to id the fish, but of course it was in thai and I wasn't sure on the pronunciation. Sounded like "bratapieng" or "pratapien"?? I'm sure I just butchered that so my apologies. He also told me it was a freshwater species.

Anyone know what this fish is; local name, common, scientific?

Pla tapian also known as wicker carp or known as a tinfoil barb to us.

Hahaha Wow, I wouldn't have guessed a barb. But looks like that's the fish.

Thank you sir! I'll know how to track it down next time I go

Nah never have. I don't really like sea food anyway with the exception of shrimp and Calamari
