What I can see of the lower lip in the last picture suggests C. bankanensis.

Each fishes above found in different stream, but the distance of each point is quite close each other.
Is it possible if there is 2 species live in this area?

Here the pic of head of the adult, sub-adult Chaca (1st post),and fish at 2nd post, sorry about the quality.

The pictures are not clear enough for me to determine one way or another. It might be easier to wait until the fish opens its mouth before taking a picture of the frontal view (in the manner of the last picture in the second post).

Too bad, I did'nt keep any of this species, still not ready to keep fishes. But, fishes at first post already preserved by Bu Reny Hadiaty, meanwhile fish at 2nd post I released to stream directly after taking some pics.
