first is definitely a sun catfish
 
the second looks like syno. clarias, but i cant see the tail that well, so im probably wrong. IDK its hard to tell from the pics.
 
Yeh Sun cat- Horabagrus brachysoma

Syno Could be Synodontis Budgetti.:)
 
Suns grow over 1ft. The other dfish you got, may grow between 6" and 10".

When you take the cat out of the water, does it grunt?

I don't remember whether that one grunted or not, I know one fish i had did....so maybe it was that one

thanks for all the replies. that would be killer if that sun cat got 12 inches
 
they get bigger more like 18'' but it takes a long time the second one looks like an armored catfish
 
first is an eclipse cat (sun cat) and the second looks like a lace cat (synodontis). i've had/have both they're great fish imo
