I believe the top one could be a Kryptopterus Limpok and the bottom one possibly be Denticetopsis Praecox, but please correct me if im wrong. Any information about them would be greatly appreciated.

I'd go with for the top one. The other looks OK, but it's hard to tell exactly from the picture.

Hey Jools, thanks for the help, I thought the same as you for the top one but I then notice that the macrocephalus doesn't have lower whiskers like the one in the photo, and the arching of the back is different
