Default Fish ID help

I recently traded for a 75 gallon fish aquarium. It had plenty of fish in it that my 4 year old son and I can identify, but there are 3 that we are not sure about. Please see pictures below and help if you can.

Here is a nice little silver fellow:



A sort of rough looking orange guy:



And an interesting catfish that we aren't quite sure about:



Thanks


Or.... maybe not, images not showing up, hosted on a different site. I couldn't upload any with the member galleries too either.. Hmm.

I was going to say Buenos Aires Tetra. Second Platy or Molly. Third Striped Raphael Catfish.

Your Buenos Aires Tetra is going to need friends. 6+ and he'll be happy.

I rehomed the B.A. tetra and am in the process of trying to do the same for one of the 2 rainbow sharks and one of the standard plecos. Not that I know much yet about the hobby, but the guy I got this off of had a mess in the tank with his fish selection.
