1. Probably correct I think but would like to see more pics just to be sure it isn't some <em>Hypancistrus</em>.

2. Agree with Silurus, 100%

Hi
1-My first impression of the first one was peckoltia vittata but in this 4 specimens I have the color is solid yellow, in the vittata pics i see the color is brown not yellow that is my confusion.

2- the peckoltia sabaji have red in the dorsal fin right? only in the adult or in juvenile specimen too? for this i confused whit this.

3-thanks because in this i dont have any idea

4-that right i think in L 129, but my confusion is in this specimen the stripes are white, never in my life i see a L129 whit the stripes in this color jeje, always i receive in brown color

thanks for the answers, later i take more pictures of the first one and put in the forum

The first one looks like a Peckoltia species but not L15 P. vittata, I dont know what species it is but as you said...the colour are to sharp and it's origin from Colombia/Venezuela.

Second fish I agree, there are several locations for P. sabaji and their colour can vary from almost white to really orange in their fins even at young speciemens.

Third one have I never seen in real and not even any in this genus so I dont know how variable these are in colour but the patterna is similar to Pseudolithoxus tigris .

The last one I also agree that it's L129 Hypancistrus sp.
