They look mostly like Golden Barbs, Barbus semifasciolatus "schuberti".
They are certainly barbs and not tetras, and they don't look like Rosy
Barbs. Rosies don't have that kind of dark pattern on their sides, but
Goldens sometimes do. Most Goldens (at least around here) are rather pale
yellow with no or just very little dark spotting, but some strains are
brighter yellow/orange with some red highlights, and they often have more
dark spotting/shading on sides.
