Not sure if you were only leaving this for Zippy but I thought I'd answer anyway.

1st a Black Crappie, seeing as White Crappies have black stripes as opposed to a Black Crappie having black spots.

And the second one kind of looks like a White and Black X-Breed, but if not definitely a Black Crappie.
