Probably Hypancistrus sp for the top two fish, I think #1 and #2 are

No clue on the third photo though, thought it was Hypancistrus but I can't fin a species with a striped body and a spotted dorsal...

Take my Ids with a grain of salt though.
I can stop keeping catfish whenever I want. I just don't think I'll ever want to do that...

I think you are right on with L333 for the first one (pics 1 and 2 are the same fish).

The second one I have no clue on. The head shape (at least from that camera angle) looks more like a Peckoltia or Panaqolus but I can't find a good match for the rest of the pattern in my recollection or a quick scan through the cat e log.

Both fish are from the same parent as far as I know.
