Was wondering if anyone could make out what fish this is.
The LFS had three names listed on the tank and I know its not any of them.

Sorry for the crap picture. It has the appearance of a rummy nose but is orange instead of red and has orange tips on its tail fin instead of the checkered flag pattern.

I was gonna say rummynose tetras too. But I don't know what they are. Any chance on a clearer photo? Perhaps they could be a species of danio.
 
I'll stop in tomorrow before work for a better picture. I was pressed for time and they knew when I was hitting the camera button on my phone lol!
 
They look like Asian rummynoses, Sawbwa resplendens. They're not actually very closely related to the South American rummynoses, they just look similar.
Here's a picture of one, looks just like the fish in the picture:

And here's a profile with some info on them:
