Fish Indentifier Help

[EmilyMarie85]

Greetings. I need some help identifying 2 types of freshwater fish...

#1. I dont have a picture of this one, but it is some kind of small catfish or pleco fish. They are small, and like to travel in groups. The best way I can describe them is a darker colored fish, that move pretty fast and act kind of like little flies. I was at a LFS and this guy picked up a rock and there was like 15 of them under it and they scattered very quickly. I can not for the life of me remember what they were called
#2. This guy:

Thanks
Em

#1 didnt look like that - he was less pointy, more "squatty" looking. They also said he would "stay small"...

I wonder if #1 was a Corydoras species.

And like everyone else says...#2 is a Blue Ram

1: could be banjo cats or something from the tatia family, maybe tatia intermedia??

I think they MIGHT be peppered cory cats, but im not sure
