First one looks like a specled butterfly fish
The second one is a cichlid (not sure which order) but it looks african. It's a freshwater or brackish water fish.
Edit: It's a giraffe cichlid. (nimbochromis venustus)

If you're going by the title as the name of the butterflyfish, then vid title is wrong,.
Speckled Butterflyfish, as I understand and as SWF references, is Chaetodon citrinellus.
The Butterfly in the vid is Chaetodon miliaris. Commonly called the Lemon Butterflyfish, or Millet Butterflyfish. C. miliaris has a blackspot on the caudal, C. citrinellus does not.

I was wondering about that, the fish in the vid had a black spot near the base of it's dorsal. Othewise they had looked the same to me.

Well, the person who is posting all of these videos on YouTube and asking us to watch them hear is a bunch of spam as well and has been flagged as so even by YouTube.

Good grief. He must have added the names of the fish to the title after my first post. I don't recall seeing them there the first time I watched.

He's done this with every single post.
Comes here, asks what the fish is called, gets a response and changes the title of the video.
