To Least and Chili hybridize?

I'll start by saying young fish are always a challenge to identify. On another post here, I recently said I sourced some chilis from Blackwater Aquatics. Ten days after delivery they are starting to color up nicely. They are still in quarantine so much easier to photograph than my main shoal. They seem to be not quite chilis and not quite leasts to me this morning. From what I see online, chilis have red dots on their caudal and dorsal fins, which these do not have. These fish are also more coppery in overall tone than true red. Also, no least rasbora I have seen has the reddish body streak underneath the black streak like these fish do. Are we thinking these are just juvenile chilis coming into their coloration, or possible least/ chili hybrids?

White fin tips on Harlequin Rasboras

Is this cause for concern? Fin rot, ich or another illness? Is it contagious or can I put them back in my community tank to heal?
I’ve also had 3 Harlequin Rasboras die recently of unknown cause but never noticed any white fin spots on those.
I separated these two from the other 6 because I noticed they each had a white spot on one of their fin tips. Please help!! Thank you.
