Indeed, 2 female redhooks, Myloplus rubripinnis. Very nice fish!
The first of the two seems to have been bitten a bit but other fish (anal fin). It doesn't matter much as it would heal completely under good conditions.
There seem to exist variation among red hooks as well, and some 'varieties' nobody knows what is a better term), with some females having a black edge all along the red hook, and some having the hook completely red. Although your pictures are somewhat dark and don't allow being certain, it would seem that yours do not have the black hem on their anal fins.

Thanks. Both of them have completely red anal fin.
