Please ID these fish

These are freshwater fish in a clients tank. I don't know freshwater very well. Sorry for the low quality. Thanks.


I do not have good photos of the second fish. It looks similar to a silver trout with a split caudal fin outlined in black. His dorsal fin is outlined in black also.


The pleco is typically black with either brown or red dots.


Thanks again.

Looks to be a kissing gourami .They get huge and are big waste creators.
I'll guess the trout is a bala shark..
Hope your customer has a huge tank...
Both are monster fish not to be kept by most with less the 200g tanks.
The bala needs a school...

Is the bala shark also called a silver shark? I found the bala and silver shark to look a lot like it.

The white fish does not have big lips like the kissing gourami does. I saw a few google photos of the kissing gourami without large lips. Is it one of those traits that doesnt apply to all of them?

Thoughts on the pleco?

I believe the bala and silver are the same .
The gourami actually looks like the real giant gourami ;
Giant Gourami, Osphronemus goramy, Common Gourami, True Gourami
red spotted pleco ;
Sailfin pleco: size, tank mates, care, breeding, pictures
There many fancy plecos but this one ^^ seems to fit right in on poor choices many make .
It was found by searching red spotted pleco ,but IMO it does not have red spots?

That square shape leads me to believe its most likely a kissing gourami.
