The first two pics look like a common but the last two look like a marble sailfin gibbiceps to me. Either way he looks like he needs to be fattened up.

The large eyes and small body tell me that this fish has had it's growth stunted. Which means more then likely it was bred on a fish farm and either a common or a gibbeceps; gibbeceps being my guess. Nice pictures if those pectoral's stay straight like that and the saying holds true for this sp I would say male, but that's just a guess.
