Help with hypancistrus

Post by MotorCityAquatics »

Can somebody with more experience than myself have a look at these and tell me what you think they are? I am told they are 066 but I am a novice and want to be dead sure. They are 4 inch F0. If you want to take a shot at sexing them that would be great too. Thank You!!Image
