So I bought some of these fish today and I thought the tag said brilliant rasbora...I was going to read about them when I quickly realized it was not the fish I had.

in my search I realize I cannot properly identify them.

Note: the fish are in a quarantine tank and are way to skinny.

Can’t help you much except that they look to be a micro rasbora, I’d guess they’re something similar to a chili rasbora and gets to an inch or less.
 
They are most likely still washed out from transport. Once they are beefed up and settled in their true colours should show and they'll be easier to identify. Rasboras are difficult to distinguish otherwise.
