Need Help On What Kind?

[vti-chris]

I'm NEW to this forum and i would like to say hi to everybody here.PLUS question(ssss).
I just built myself a 35G tank for freshwater tropical fish.
I had a smaller tank in the past but knew nothing about keeping fish so i lost interest very fast.15 years later i'm "on them" again and this time i've done my homework.
Anyway i decided to get only tetras and maybe some guppies plus some algae eaters.
The problem is that the pet shop here(the best one with clean tanks and everything) seems that it doesn't know all the tetras on his shop and i had to get them by guessing that they might be tetras.
I bought two different kinds of 4 each plus two kinds of algae eaters 2 of each.
Here are some pictures of the "tetras" and i hope someone here will know what species they are IF they are tetras after all:

They don't really look like tetras but do in some ways. I'm no expert on them, I just thought i'd share my opinion.

I forgot to tell you that if someone knows what kind of fish they are, to give me the scientific name of it too!!!

Hi chris
Welcome to the forums
The first picture looks more like a barb than a tetra.Could possibly be checkered barb
The fish in the 2nd one is very like a rosy tetra,
Not a notion about the latin names
If you try reposting the pictures in the characins section you will probably get a better response

You are right.Thanks for the help.I think i'm going to take the barbs back and keep the tetras.
These guys at the pet shop are ****** up.
