Hi and welcome to the forum
Top fish is a Melanotaenia boesemani, possibly a female or young male, depending on how old and big the fish is. It if develops yellow or blue on the body, it's a boy.
Bottom fish is a Glossolepis incisus, probably a female but again could be a young male depending on age and size. If it develops any red it is a male. Females have no red and are silver when young and turn bronze when mature.

Hi, I was just wondering if someone can help identify these fish? I have been trying to do a bit of research about our fish, think they may be types of Rainbow fish but just wanted to confirm. Hopefully someone can help me.
