First one looks like a variant of either marmorata or lenticulata, WOW!!! I LOVE IT! Where did you get it? Are there any more?!

Second one looks like johanna......aka rainbow pike...very nice coloration as well!

 

[Scatocephalus]

It looks like a geographical variant of marmorata. There are some that stay black and white without the rows of orange spots along the side such as the race from "Nhamunda".

Then again it may be the more often seen race just marked differently. Marms are a highly variable fish even when caught from the same spot.
