Could you also add your location to your profile please? Our forum is multinational so it helps us to know where certain things tend to be available and what not. Just the country is alright even.

Thanks!

They look like Hypancistrus contradens to me. Rather young specimens. Young Hypanncistrus are often more boldly marked than mature specimens.
I have seen another Hypancistrus sp offered in the USA that has large white spots on a black body but I don't think this other species has a L-### yet. The spots are white not yellow.
