Re: whiptails
I merged your posts.
I think it would help quite a bit if we got a side-view of the fish as well, but I'll hazard a guess of . Within that genus, it's terribly difficult to identify which species it is, since they are very similar and colouration is not a good indicator - they may not be proper chamelions in the way they change colour and pattern, but they certainly are able to change all or parts of their body pattern from light-brown to fairly dark brown depending on mood, the colour of the surroundings etc.
The second fish looks like it may be a female - but I'm certainly not sure.
