The Farlowella is probably F. oxyrryncha and the Rineloricaria is R. platyura.

Hi,
3 raws of abdominal plates, long and quite broad rostrum, and distribution. There is a second (almost) species in the Rio Negro that is F. nattereri, but the rostrum is shorter, and the median series of abdominal plates is well defined.
Cheers
