I took on a tropical setup from a friend who is upgrading to a marine setup. As well as all the equipment I received a number of fish. Most I've been able to identify. However, even after working through the guides, I've not been able to pin down the exact fish identification of the below. Any help will be gratefully appreciated.
Type of catfish??

1 Bronze cory
2 Male platy
3 I think cherry barb
4 Not sure, possibly some sort of killi or rainbow? Someone?
5 I think another cherry barb
 
the first picture is a picture of bronze corydorous.

ya last one is also cherry barb...
 
1) Bronze cory (yes, a small species of catfish - should be in groups of 4-6)
2) Male platy (if you have females as well should be 2 females per male)
3) Cherry barb (should be in groups of 6 or more)
4) Lamp-eye killifish (as far as I know they like groups of 6 or more)
5) Another cherry barb

Looks like a nice tank! Do you know what size it is?
 
Thanks everyone! Finally been able to read up on all the fish I have. I note the comments about having certain fish being happier with others of same species. Maybe have to get a couple more Lamp-eye Killifish for a start.

Looks like a nice tank! Do you know what size it is?

The tank is 90 litres. Manufactured by Clear Seal. I've worked out the most fish I can have is 40 inches worth. So will have to be careful as think I've 30 inches worth of fish already.
 
90 L is not 40 inches worth,,,that is overstocked as is your tank with 30 inches now....rule of thumb, is 1 inch of fish per gallon of water....90Litres = 19 gallons.....so you may need to rehome some, especially if you have male and female platys in the tank.....babies and lots of them...every 4 weeks... if you do
seriously, only 30 inches if the tank is seriously overfiltered...ask your friend

and I may be wrong, but the fish above the norman lampeye looks like a pregnant platy. the fish in the top left of same photo looks like a female platy, so you could be inundated with fish soon
