Tricky. Perhaps
Mystus castaneus
and
Mystus singaringan
? I am but a padawan on these fishes tho - would like to see if @Silurus thinks I even got close.

Jools is correct. I am not convinced the first fish is
Mystus castaneus
though. It looks more like
Hemibagrus fortis
to me. More pictures might help.
