I have no idea. My manager can't remember. I thought they look similar to a black phantom but I couldn't find them online
They look like green/black tiger barbs to me.
Hard to tell colour from the photo.

Yeah, they are tiger barbs imo.
Yes, they are cyprinids, not characins, so that lets out all tetras. And barbs is the family. I'm not up on all the artificial colour forms, but I would suspect like others that this is a variety of Tiger Barb.
In case you may consider getting some...be warned that this species is a fin nipper. It needs a largish group (12+) in a minimum 30 gallon tank, if kept on their own. A larger tank if other fish are included. Tankmates must be similarly active species.
