you might be right about the First one, but the second is identical to Giant Snakehead, except the color is different

First one is Polypterus Endlicheri Endlicheri which aren't snakeheads but bichirs.. Second is Channa Pleurophthalma.
 
Yes correct.
Te first is Polypterus Endlicheri Endlicheri ( max out at around 60cm)
Second is Channa Pleuros ( max out at around 50cm, best kept in groups)

If I have the Pleuros in my 156 Gal tank with the Awoana and the Oscars than is best to have only two, I have read some info about them that if they are 4 or more they become too aggressive.
 
They need to hunt in packs of 3 or more.
You are already crazy having An Arowana and Oscars in a 150gal tank, why are you adding more?

You really don't listen to advice do you???
