The first one looks like an Arabian Monocle Bream. If you have a good side view may confirm.
 
Thanks Vincent54 that's definitely correct I've checked the other pictures against some on google and you've hit the nail on the head.

Tigerman,
Thanks you are probably right. I think it must be a junvenile or a female as I have only found one image that matches the markings and unfortunately the one that matches is not the main subject of the picture The Blackeye Thicklip - Whats That Fish!
It was that mouth that threw me, I just couldn't get away from the fact it looked like a ducks bill.
