    The red one looks like red phantom tetra. No idea what is the blue fish called.

    I have seen both selling at Seaview. You may want to check them out.
    The red is confirm red phantom. The blue is some kind of tetra. can't remember the name...something like blue tetra if remember correctly.

    the blue one you are referring to looks like golden tetra. try googling for golden tetra, seaview has it. it goes out of stock from time to time.

    You can check at Qian Hu, i recently saw a tank there labelled "blue tetra" and the fishes inside looked like those in your photo... not as intense blue though, more like transparent with a tinge of blue, though they could be pale due to stress in the LFS tank.

    The red fish is "Hyphessobrycon Haraldschultzi" aka "Crystal Red Tetra", the blue fish is "Boehlkea Fredcochui" aka "Blue Tetra". Crystal Red Tetra is quite rare and pretty expensive if i remember correctly, both fish prefer cold temperature(22 – 27°C).
