Can anyone identify the two Hypan's in my video? The one one the right has larger, brighter spots whereas the smaller pleco on the right is one of four and they are more active but are less spotted and the spots are smaller. I am guessing they are two different species but any insight from any pleco experts would be appreciated. The video is 3 minutes long but the fish don't do much. Just eating her greenbean while the smaller munches down on a catfish pellet.
What is my Hypancistrus sp? L201?

The greenbeaner looks like I can't really tell the other but it might be however that's assuming they came in the same shipment which you may not know.

They were obtained from the same source and are over 2 years old. So growth rates are different. They did look more the same early on.
