    The blue and orange ones are male boesemani rainbows. They are quite readily available but do not look like this in a pet shop tank. They will be quite a lot duller, and only colour up like this when they are fully adult and in conditions that make them happy. Here's a link: http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/melanotaenia-boesemani/

    Raibows are awesome hardy fish. Very active swimmers. The lake katubu rainbows are also awesome fish

    Boesmani Rainbows. (the blue and orange fish)
    Torpedo Barbs (the long narrow ones with red)
    And there's another species or two of Barb in there too.
