I finally got one of my new gastros to cooperate with me me to take so decent pics. If anyone has some thoughts on species I would appreciate the input. I know the fins aren't raised so it may be difficult.

You can just make out the tubercles in this one.

Gastromyzon scitulus, based on the second to last shot where the tail is more spread. I would like to see the dorsal, but I'm pretty certain.
And that last photo is most probably a male.

Thanks Martin.
All those pics are the same fish. The other fish has a different pattern, short bars instead of spots and I think I saw clear fins on that one. They both have the gastro mouth though. I'll see if the other one will cooperate next time.

Nice looking fish!

I would say G. scitulus, also.
