It's either a Flame Tetra or a Red Phantom Tetra.

Its looks like a Pristella Tetra to me. We just bought some for our tank but there so many breeds of tetra.

Probably a flame tetra AKA Von Rio AKA Fire tetra:

That's my guess at least. Give them a week or so to settle in a snap a new pic if your still not sure. The colors should show much better by then.

It's a rasbora. Because of the lack of color, looks like a female, possibly a golden harlequin because of the color on its tail.
