another easy one

Lutjanus argentimaculatus, aka mangrove jack or mangrove snapper. Also, sometimes sold, most egregiously, as "red datnoid" or "white datnoid."

I think you are right but the bares fade as they grow and I can't tell if their pectoral fins are red. If not how about Mexican barred snapper, (Hoplopagrus guentherii)?
Now Ichtyophile, how about a shot at the brackish guy I posted? It is found from the east coast of Africa, the north coast of Australia, on through the eastern Phillipines.

You have me stumped. :( Maybe a member of the glassfish family (Ambassidae)?

Not in the ambassidae family, it is a common, widely used food fish, that is named after a small horse.
