Help Identifying Rescued Fish

Hey there.

I acquired some tropical fish at the weekend from a neighbour whose leaving the country. Only trouble is he doesn't know what they all are. I've identified an Albino Cory and a Neon Tetra but I've no clue as to what the others are.

I've taken some pics on my phone which I've attached in the hope somebody with greater knowledge than me can identify them.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

The fish in the middle of the first picture is a Praecox Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia praecox). The fish on the right in the first picture is a Peppered Cory Catfish. Both of the fish in the second picture are the same as the first pictures fish. The fish in the last picture look like either cherry barbs or gold barbs, I'm not sure if there even barbs.

hunter D is right about the first two pics and the third one had cherry barbs. They are not bright red because they are females, whom are way less colorful than the males.
