The pics was not so good but I think you have one L401 Hypancistrus sp and one L136 Hypancistrus sp (the dotted one).

Hi!

I think you have a Hypancistrus sp L4/5/28/73 (dotted one)
body shape is a bit off to be L136 so is the overall body color.
The other one I don't know, but would think it is a regular L66

Cheers

I tend to agree with Yann, your pics is still not so good and they show stressed colouration. The best is to always let the fishes settle in for a few weeks and then take some pics when they show their normal colour...in Sweden they cost around 40$.
