Any idea what species this Farllowella is?

It seems to be imported from Loreto (PerÃº)...

I dont know if all pics belong to same species... sorry

The pictured specimens in the link were also caught in Lareto Department. I would need a photo of the belly scutes though to be 100% sure.

The two rows of belly scutes confirm my original identification.

For my own education, are they both females?

I believe it is normal. My specimens showed an amazing ability to change their coloration.
