You might have gotten a green tiger barb. They're just like regular tiger barb's but have green on them (hence the name "green" tiger barb). There's nothing wrong with your barb so no need to worry.

No I have looked at the pics of a green tiger barb and my barb and they have no resemblence.

It's natural and nothing to worry about. The green sheen will flash under certain light - that's the gene that's isolated to make green barbs. Some fish will have more than others - it's purely genetic and usually manifests itself once the fish starts to mature.
