Top looks like a baby Spanish Flag, bottom almost looks like a baby catfish.

Bro, this type of size we release. But good to learn.

I would think the first one might be more of a cardinalfish.

Bottom should be a eel-tail catfish.

Thanks bro!
Yeag after taking a pic we released them back. Idk if they could be eaten and they're too small. Thanks again! Tight lines.

This catfish is call in Malay Ikan Similang and the best class of all the sea catfish ... very nice eating too... In northern Msia - Penang , they cook asam curry with this fish... The other one is a Nine banded Soldier fish , I think

Too small and good to practice catch and release and bag size limits to preserve them for the next gen of fishermen
