weaver, due to the pic quality, I cant be sure which specific fish it is, but what I am sure is ...
It is a cardinal fish.

Here's a link to the species : http://www.handlinefishing.com/whatsthi ... rdinal.htm

There are few species and cardinal fishes are pretty common in Punggol waters.
Pesky bait stealer ...
Don't try using them as bait ... fish are like human ... you won't eat they also wont eat .. lol !

FYI, fish caught for the 2nd pics are :

top : stingray

center (from left to right ) : striped eel tail catfish, saddle grunter, tamban

Bottom (from left to right ) : spotted scat aka kim kor, toadfish

* note of advise ... do be very careful when handling spotted scat, they have poisonous spines at the top !
