Any idea what kind of fish this is? I can't find anything on it. It's currently 6"-7". Thanks guys. Hope I posted this in the right place.

Looks either like some kind of grouper, or a large asian carplike fish.
what kind of water does it go in? when you got it did they tell you anything about it? any name they gave it might help?


edit*

the fin and body shape scream cyprinid to me, but on a site like this surely someone has seen this before?
 
I don't have it, its a pic someone put on craigslist, they only want $5 for it, but I was hoping to find it what it was before getting it. He said he thinks its possibly a tinfoil, but I know its not. I was thinking some sort of carp family too.

Its is not a tinfoil. it looks very carp like. my second guess would be a cyprinid of some sort.
 
What about a stripped bass? Is that a possibility? When my bf saw it, that's what he thought right away, and after looking at pictures, it could be a possibility....

Heck, for $5 just get it and then take some better pictures of it; if it gets too big, then make food for your other fishes if you don't want to upgrade. It's definitely not a striped bass by the way; it's a cyprinid of some sort, though.

Nope, check out the (single) dorsal fin. It doesn't have a spiny dorsal at all, only a single soft dorsal ruling out perciform fishes (cichlids, sunfish, basses, etc.) and also many characins. More than likely some sort of cyprinid
