Yeah that 2nd one is def a euruptus but not sure about the first one. I know here we call it a bumblebee catfish and it is from asia somewhere but not sure of the scientific name. Mystus just doesnt sound right. I know it gets about 6"-7" max though.
No other pics just yet. I haven't seen it come out since I first added it to the tank.
Does it help any that the eyes are cloudy like it's blind? I don't know it that's a trait, or just something that happened in a tank with a ton of aggressive fish.

The first one is a bumblebee catfish (Leiocassis siamensis) grow to 15-18cm and will eat small tank mates like tetras
The second one is a Synodontis Eupterus and grow to a similar size of 15-18cm
I have 4 eupterus and get along fine with my cichlids and my brother has a bumblebee in with two trimacs and its fine just provide plenty of caves and hideaways.
