The felid could be a fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus):

or maybe another species of genus Prionailurus (rusty-spotted cat, leopard cat, etc).
It could also be a black-footed cat (Felis nigripes):

Definitely not an ocelot, which has different markings.

Unfortunately the fish is too hard to identify. The head looks like a moray eel, but I have no idea what the body looked like.

The cat appears to be a young serval. It has spots not clouds so it is not an ocelot. However I will check again to make sure it is indeed a serval.

The fish appears to be a wolf eel but I am not sure the picture is too fuzzy.

No its ears are too small for a serval. Never the less I have seen this coat pattern before but can not think of where. Will inform you when I figure it out!

black footed cats have a taby (striped like the striped domestic cats not the black stipes) head and spots not bars on back. I don't think it is one of those. Fishin cats are larger and tend to be greyer.

I am now thinking leopard cat, but there is also another south american spotted species whose name and details of spot pattern are eluding me at the moment.

I can't tell for the cat without seeing its face or how big it is. The fish looks a lot like a moray eel.

http://www.roatanpearl.com/images/moray-eel.jpg is not the ideal picture. However, the face in the dark picture you showed looks a lot like all the moray eels I've seen on nature documentaries over the years.

Can you perhaps add more about the animals to help us identify them?

The first is some type of cat. The second is a turtle, all you can see is the head.

Looks like an ocelot and a jellyfish.
