Re: what kind of fish species are these mate?
The pictures aren't clear enough to make a definite id. BTW tupong (also known as congolli) and flat headed gudgeon are not the same species. Tupong grow much bigger, to over 40 cm, while 8 cm is a big gudgeon.
From details in the second pic it is probably a goby of some sort, possibly a bridled goby.

I've caught them and blue spot goby years ago off the piers near Williamstown and in the lower Maribyrnong.
