The fish in the first picture is Datnioides microlepis, aka Indonesian datnoid. The fish in the second picture is Datnioides quadrifasciatus, aka silver datnoid.

When I think of silver datnoids I always think of this picture of the D. quadrifasciatus by Herbert Axelrod.

I dont like that dark look of the silver. Or is that just lighting/freshwater thats causing it to look that dark?

When I had mine he was in fresh and doing fine. The dumb thing would only eat black worms though, so I ended up selling him.
