(Dark one) Ancistrus sp. (3)
The other one is no catfish... I don't remember the english name for that one... probably stonesucker ore something like that!
Both are quite good alge eater.

The Ancistrus looks a bit like a female to me. I don't know about the other one.
The other one is the golden form of the Chinese Algae Eater, Gyrinocheilus aymonieri - as had been said, this isn't a catfish.
The Ancistrus is a great community fish, the other is not especially once they mature (you've got a young one).

Right. It will become aggressive and territorial, and won't eat much algae either.The Ancistrus is a great community fish, the other is not especially once they mature (you've got a young one).
