Well, basically it's ide (LEUCISCUS IDUS) and golden orfe is it's color version
Seems like there is little difference between these fish.
Once I tried to create a thread about this fish but there was only a little response:

ordinary ides in my pond. Look here:
http://forums.pondboss.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=356194&page=2I saw talking about orfes in the goldfish thread. If you need a nice predator then this one won't be the right one. Well, they will eat fish but only little ones and after reaching porper size. You know that real predators (pike, perch, bass etc.) have quite a large mouth that's well suited for doing the job - eating fish. Ide isn't
designed for that purpose and if you need fish eliminator then better think about different fish.
But anyway this one is quite a nice fish. They usually swim in the upper water and that allows you to watch them
EDIT:
Watch this video:
