Fish Identity?

Can anyone please help identify a fish in the attached video? It's the fish in the first tank which has a body that is white to the front half, dark blue to the rear half and with a yellow tail. It is native to the waters around the Philippines. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Christinna but you have identified the wrong fish. I'm looking to identify the fish with the white front, blue rear and yellow tail.

Bingo! That's the fish, Thank you Dave. At a selling price of less than 3 quid, it's tempting to get it but, at a final size of 20", it will compete with the other large fish I'm getting, so, I'll reluctantly pass. Thanks again.
