Which Chaetostoma?

If it's possible to tell from my less than wonderful photos.
Fish #1

Fish #2

They actually look the same but I can't get a better photo of the one in the cave. Also they're more olive-colored than the photos show.

I'd go with for fish #1.

And (found in same biotope, if I recall correctly) for fish #2.

Thanks much! I was thinking formosae also. There's one more in the tank but it continually hides so no photos of it. I need to re-do this tank anyway and hopefully can get better photos.
