The pictures are actually links to a image-hosting company, but the link isn't working to show the entire picture.

Pic 5 is probably a small species, but I'm not sure which one. A picture from the side (aka "Lateral view") would help show it's pattern.

Pic 2 and Pic 7 looks like they are two different species, but both are probably one of the several spotted species. A lateral view pic again would help. Also, if the fish is settled in a tank, rather than showing stress pattern would help a lot.

Hi

L205 is certainly one possibility - spots on tummy would help identify that...

The only ones left are 3 and 5. 3 is very hard to tell, especially with the banding which many fish show when stressed. 5 is a Panaque as said before. Could be panaque maccus but both really need a side shot in order to give an id. LDA01 based on what you gave as a list would be a match based on the selection but I'm not sure it looks like a LDA01.

I wouldn't be so certain about L205 - it's entirely POSSIBLE that it's L205, but it could be about 6 others too. A side and belly photo would help to identify it.

Hi!

1) L128
2) Peckoltia brevis
3) Peckoltia ? with such pic impossible to say
4) L114
5) Panaqolus dentex species group difficult to say with such pictures
6) Baryancistrus demantoides? by judging the small yellow seam on the dorsal fin
7) Peckolita brevis
8) Ancistrus cf cirrhosus


if you could provide better pictures it would greatly help
Cheers
