The middle one on the top row is
. It is given the sp(number) name because it's not identified which species it is.
The third one on the top row is some form of
- not one that is listed in the Cat-eLog as far as I can tell...

I'm not aware of any common names for either of the fish I referred to.
Common names, I think, are pretty useless anyways, as they tend to vary from one region to another, and are often used for several similar species without distinction, so don't have much real meaning...

I think that fish is a
Megalancistrus sp. from Rio San Francisco, Brazil.
