Could they be any fo these?

black widow/ black skirt tetra
longfin black skirts
black phantom tetras (my favourite tetra :p)
The idea of them having 'more' fins has got me stumped :p
threadfin rainbowfish

With the 'orange' fish - is it anything like this?
flame tetra andanother
That picture is from here. If it's not like your fish, are there any on that page that look similar?

Are you certain they are not serpae tetras?
Or perhaps a columbian red fin tetra?

That's going to have to be my last guess for now :p Is there no way you could post some pictures? Even realy bad ones would help lol

Still none match, in the next few days I will try to post some pics of them. This is really odd that we cant find them, I've been looking pretty hard and cant find them anywhere.
 
The orange ones are bottom-feeders? A pleco, maybe? The one shown there is a Hypostomus punctatus (dunno if that classifies as a pleco, but since it looks like one and is orange, I thought it applied). Flying fox, perhaps? A type of loach?

I'm not sure any of the come in the color morph you're describing, but do any of these look similar?
 
the orange ones are the shape of the flying fox but are completely orange with a red underbelly and i just noticed yesterday that they have green on the side of them. Both of them do.
 
That last link was to a charry barb (I posted one earlier as well I think). If your fish looks anything like that, it's probably a barb of some description. Go on www.google.com images and search for 'cherry barb'. Then try 'checker barb', 'rosy barb' and 'gold barb'. In particular I think you should look at the rosy barbs. The reason I'm asking you to search the images is because I think you may possibly be placing too much emphasis on the color of the fish and noticing the shape less. Color varies a lot - especialy in photos - maybe if you look at lots and lots of photos you'll see one individual or photo that has the same (or similar) colors as your fish and that'll make it possible for you to dientify them... On the other hand, I may be entirely wrong - perhaps you just don't have any of these fish :p

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing pics :p That'll make things a lot simpler ;)
