What species? How many? And is it a 25 long or a 25 tall? Rainbows like to have lots of swimming room.

I love this site and they're pretty through about their information.

For the species that you mentioned:

Boeseman's Rainbowfish, Bicolor Rainbow, Boesemani
91cm (36") tank of roughly 35-45 gallon (132-170 L)

Australian Rainbowfish
32" (81 cm) tank with a volume of 30 gallons (114 L)

However there are some smaller speices if you check the site out that you might like.

Note: both of the above are under the Melanotaenia family
