The 1st one isn't a clear enough picture but the bottom part of the fish looks like some form of knife fish. Just so you know, knife fish and bala sharks get HUGE. Really really big.

Ok the first 3 pics are a African knife fish. And just like courtanny said, they get extremely big. They need at least 55 gallons and grow up to a foot long.
