Yellowfin goatfish
"Mulloidichthys vanicolensis" is the Latin name according to a "Maxi Memofish" waterproof card I have which includes pictures of 260 species of Red Sea fish, corals, invertebrates, etc.
See the wikipedia link here for more details and a picture of a shoal of "Gelbstreifenbarben". The photo appears to match the colour drawing on my chart.
Thanks to Nicole for pointing me straight to the goatfish.

Gold barb
As an aquarist, many years ago, I know there are many different varieties of barbs. The closest to yours I would say is the gold barb (Puntius semifasciolatus). Particularly as the text has them shoaling.
Hope this helps.
