If you check the cat-elog at the top of the page, look under "L numbers". The two species are listed with pictures. Photo bucket is easy to use for posting pictures, they even have an app!!

I have looked through both of the L200 species in the Cat-elog and I am still not quite sure, so anyone who possibly owns both or just one, what do you think?
Here are some pics on photo bucket:

Looks like the dorsal and adipose fins are both connected. Which would make it baryancistrus demantoides, also known as the hi-fin green phantom. The dorsal is definitely higher than my hemiancistrus subviridis. Can't help you on gender though.
