Please see the album to help me identify my new tropical fish.. they are settling in very well, but I just don't know the names.

I was sold a pair of see-through ones (female has white dot on dorsal fin), with red tail fins.

Thanks in advance for your help.

No. 1 is a Rosy Tetra (I think) possibly a Bentos Tetra

No. 2 is a Red Tailed Rasbora

Excellent, thanks for the super fast replies, the pair are definately Rosy Tetras, now I can read up on how livebearers like the tank so I stand a good chance on getting lil fry!

Hope you your rosy tetras have lots of fry!

IMHO
The first fish is a Rosy Tetra (Hyphessobrycon rosaceus)
and
The second fish is a pencilfish (Nannostomus beckfordi )

just a quick note, tetras are egg layers, not live bearers. Not sure if you are aware as your post made it seem as though you thought otherwise.
