Hi,
The blue fish with the horizontal stripe looks like a Melanchronis
Cyaneorhabdos - from the paler colour I would guess a female or
subordinate male (perhaps). The dominant males are more of an "electric
blue" colour - got a tank full of the things - they breed like rabbits...

The above shows a pic and some details but you might need to register
first - there is a good Species Profile section which also has quite a
few pics...
