What was this tiny orange fish?

I was just browsing a local big-box pet store yesterday, and there was a single tiny orange fish in one of the plant tanks. It was about 1 cm to 1.5 cm long, and bright tangerine (with no visible markings of any other color). I could not get a picture of it, or a very close look, because of the plants. I assume it was not fully grown, but it was not fry-translucent, either. It was orange. And tiny.

So. How many fish are there that would be that color at that size? What features should I pay attention to next time I see a mystery fish, so I will have more than two attributes to go on?
