Weird, ive looked at those before, but never saw a picture with them flaring line that, although I'd assume it's not all that uncommon

Poecilocharax weitzmani - named after Smithsonian characid expert Stan Weitzman. I used to really enjoy talking about aquarium fish with Stan was I was postdoc at the Smithsonian. He had a bunch of tanks set up in his lab, in which he was breeding a range of small, rare tetras.

I got a nice group a couple weeks ago, they never stop flaring, but also never really stop moving. I would love to get pics of my own but I refuse to sit still for hours snapping pics for 1 or 2 decent shots.

Correct. They are really cool. My cousin got one once.

Another climber! Kind of funny, as I'm currently reviewing a manuscript on a complex of species in the same genus (with a dozen new species). I've kept a few different species from this genus through the years, but not the one in the photo ... though it occurs locally.

I've always liked this fish, too bad I've never been able to obtain any.

If you like this species Gillie, you would really like another species in the same genus (specific name fuscus). There's a nice video of that species in the wild posted this week on ANGFA-NSW's Facebook page. I'll see if I can post a link to it once the guessing is over.

And not a killifish Bettaowner. Like I said, it lives locally and we don't have killifish here. Not that I live in a different galaxy, but that would seem appropriate.
