Sorry about the crappy video quality, i need to upgrade on my camera soon lol. The very first fish in this video with the long black stripe horizontal and the long fish above the botia are the ones I'm needing ID'd. I think the first is a Veija of some sorts, but the other I have no ideal at all....if you could give some input :) Can't figure out how to embed it lol

first one kind of looks like zonatus the second one at first kinda looked like a platy then it looked like a jewel cichlid so not too sure on that one hopefully someone with a better eye can chime in

I thought that about the first one....but wasn't for sure. I do know that the 2nd one is not a jewel or platy :) It's just a fish I have not had experience in my 30 years, so looking for someone else that might have experience with it, it looks almost like a goby, but it doesn't stay on the bottom and doesn't match any freshwater gobys i looked at pics of so far.
 
No more huh?
 
.....
 
Is the video that bad to not identify him?
 
My guess is vieja hartwegi or vieja bifasciatus for the first

Thanks and yes I know the botia :) It's the one above and has a slender body I can't identify. Unfortunetly my camera sucks and i need to get a new one....
