Think they are both beardless. Both have faint black dots on the scales and a faint black spot toward tail. Think the substrate and bottom of the tank likely fading the fish.
I'd say the biggest one is definitely beardless. It has the speckling and slight ridge on the back at the base of the dorsal fin, which is just like my beardless barbs.
I'd say the other one is definitely NOT a beardless, zoom in and the dorsal looks to be elongated compared to the shorter dorsal of the other one.
And yes, both fish are looking very washed out, probably due to light surroundings. God knows what that smaller one is.

Yup.. My thoughts exactly. The elongated dorsal, and having normal barbels for a barb. I just couldn't ID the minnow.
Here's an isolated clearer pic.
Maybe one of the labiobarbus, something like lineatus. As it ages watch to see if the fins redden as there are a number of possibilities.
Currently leaning towards labiobarbus siamenses
