Identity help needed

I got this 29 gal tank free w/fish. The owner said they were "lampeyes" but I looked them up and can't find anything that resembles them. There is also one fish that is different than the others. Can anyone tell me what these 2 fish are?

The first one is a red-eye tetra and the second one is a lemon tetra.

They are redeyes. Lampeyes are a nickname given to them.

It is easy to tell if it is a lemon tetra because it has that distinct yellow and sometimes black anal fin, no other tetra, that I know of has that distinct anal fin.

I first thank all of you for your replies. Sorry, I forgot to click the notification box and didn't realize anyone had responded. The others( I found out) are Killfish(Lampeyes), glad to know what the other one is. It does in fact have a yellow fin by the anal fin.
