Diamond tetras or neon dwarf rainbows?

Which one for my 25 gallon?

Also thinking of a Furcata Rainbow. Anyone know much about them?

Fish are:
Bolivian ram
Sailfin leopard pleco

That is a hard one. What else do you have in the tank?

I've never had diamond tetras or furcatas but always wanted both!!! I would go with a small school of both!! Maybe 5 of each but check it on aqadvisor.com; I love this website!! It's pretty reliable on letting you know how your stocking levels are!

I love Diamond tetra's and have 15 in my 220g right now but they get pretty good sized. Personally I'd go with the Furcata Rainbows or Threadfin Rainbowfish then a small school of some type tetra or rasbora and all levels of your tank will be active. You are going to move that pleco out down the road? Its bio-load is quite heavy even when young and small.

Yes, I am giving him back to the store around January probably.

I agree with Rivercats here that either rainbow would be a fun match for your tank. I wouldn't personally say that either option is wrong in this case though. Diamond tetras, furcata rainbows, and threadfins are all gorgeous. I think the colors of the rainbows match the Bolivian ram a little bit better though.
