Hypoptopoma identification

Post by Gertbl »

Hi everybody,
As some might know, I have some Hypoptopoma sp. in my main tank.
Last sunday I got two more Hypoptopoma from someone else, and that means that I have three different species at this moment.

So my question is, are these the correct names for the species?
Hypoptopoma inexspectatum? (3 specimens)

The last one, is a very small and has a sharp head.
In the Catlog I find three species that look similair to this species. (1 specimens)
Hypoptopoma brevirostratum?
Hypoptopoma cf. guianense?
Hypoptopoma spilogaster?

It would be helpful to me to find out which correct species I have.
