What is the name of this fish? And is it going to eat my other fishes?

I got these two new fishes and after a week quarantine, I have put them in my tank with my other plecos and puffers.

the guy I bought from didn’tgive me the names, I googled and many different names appear which is confusing. Can you identify both of these fishes? And have you ever had any of them? Are they aggressive fishes or can Co exist with my other fishes?

First one looks like a Garra of some sort, not aggressive to my knowledge and a good scavenger.
Second is an albino rainbow shark, those things can be downright nasty. They will harass tankmates, usually those that look like them.

Thank you deadeye. It seem you know almost every fish z. Thank you.
I don’t have any other fish that looks like the rainbow shark, but I have albino adult size bristle nose that is very formidable and my bristle nose isn’t even scared of me. I also have a honey gourami, if it would start to bother my guarami then I will give it to a friend.
You are right about the second fish as well, with your help I found it’s real name Garra rufa

Looks like Garra Rufa to me, and like Deadeye stated, albino rainbow shark. Sometimes you can get away with one minding its own beeswax with right mix of fish.

My shark was pretty mild, but then it got nosy near my breeding pair of krib cichlids…one second it was alive, the next it wasn’t…

You are likely going to be ok with the rainbow shark. Many aggression related problems come from them being added first to a tank and viewing new arrivals as intruders, whereas you added it last, as is recommended to do.

Aggression from the shark will tend to come from the fish not having enough space or “territory” as it grows. Note that it will get towards 6” and probably be looking for the best part of a four foot tank as it’s own free from other sharks with a good cave it can call home. Plenty of other decoration should keep aggression down towards other fish in the tank as this is generally one of the “friendlier” of the “sharks” but all can come with different characters. Note that most sharks love to chase things, just as something to do, it’s in their blood.
