they're commonly sold as just mixed australian rainbowfish i think there's a few species usually mixed in but if i recal possibly Melanotaenia splendida
 
Yeah, they are just sold under the name "Australian Rainbows" for considerably less than reds, turquoise, bosemani, etc. (like $2 vs $10-20 around here). I has some once for about a month until my shovelnose proved to me that I had greatly underestimated his ability to eat things larger than his mouth. I actually had them surprise me with a spawn after less than 72 hours in the tank.
