The first one is probably a L183

L183 doesn't have orange to the leading edge of the fins.

1. L-183 Ancistrus dolichopterus
2. Ancistrus sp
3. L-075

And L-59 does not have any white seam in the dorsal and tail...I think.

I also think that the fish on the first picture is not a L59, and the reddish appearing spines is just because of the reflex of the material (very tiny odontodes) which are covering the front of the spines. This can mostly be seen only viewing from the front. A picture made from the side should not show this reddish shine. I also would say its a L183 (A.dolichopterus, if Ingo is right).

The third fish is Ancistomus sabaji (as I would place it), if its a L75/LDA2, L124 or L301 can't be said without knowing its findplace, right?
