Default Help with fish Idetification!!!!!

Hi everyone, I'm new to the whole freshwater aquarium system, I have had my feet wet with living coral reef aquariums for over 10 years. I recently visited a public aquarium in San Francisco and they had these fish that i have been struggling to identify since, so i was hoping someone could help me out
