They look like rummynose tetra

nice start

If it's newly planted, don't panic if some of your plants (e.g the amazon swords, back right) may start to look like they're dying off.
Sometimes,not always, new plants die back whilst they adapt to your tank, but they will regrow.
Check out the planted section when you get a chance.
Rummy nosed are great community fish,your very own living test kit.

when water quality drops, or they're stressed, the vivid red nose 'wash out' (loses colour)
