Hello albertoceronn,

The second fish might be , but I don't see any black margins on the dorsal or caudal fins to suspect .

I can't tell about the other fish.

It would help us if you could get photos of both fish in a tank and less stressed. The colors on these fishes are not their best colors because they are stressed in their bags.

Cheers, Eric

Morning,

I'd go for Panaqolus aff. maccus (L 448) and Hypancistrus cf. contradens (L 201).

cheers
Daniel
