FWIW, I am not so sure about the top one and I don't think the bottom one is a correct ID. However, I've not spend the necessary time to figure out what as that's what Birger (and you all!) are helping with.

The first one could be one of many species.

The second one I think is probably not A. pirareta. It's a bit pale, but I agree that A. spec Rio Paraguay is a possible match. Other possibilities are L89, A. spec. Wabenmuster (listed here on PC as A. tamboensis), or A. spec. Colombia. Is there a picture showing the entire fish? L89 and A. spec. Wabenmuster should have a seam on the caudal.
Cheers,
Tina

Well, I've asked Patrick to comment on any further information on these fishes in terms of location (or anything useful). I think without that they might have to be left unused.
