Update: The plec was mislabelled so it's now officially not a Sturisoma panamense after I consulted deeper into Planetcatfish.com's articles and their forum. It could be Rineloricaria parva, according to some PC members and could be the only closest possible ID unless its history of where it was collected is known. I have my suspicions that this could have been collected from Paraguay but this does not necessarily mean the fish is now offficially Rineloricaria parva although I could refer it as that way until someone can confirm an affirmative to it.
I do however have the true Sturisoma panamense here now but I have troubles with my camera warping slightly.

Findings have been updated. This is the first time I was ever stumped with an ID. I'm really grinning broadly already.
Thank you, Kate. They're doing really well but I still need to get more foods for them.
Still concentrating on the first pleco's ID. It really stumped me and even more stumped when the Planetcatfish.com members made guesses between Sturisoma and Rineloricaria. If anyone knows, can you please add in your thoughts about this fish's identity? More photos can be found in page 4.
More photos of my licorice gouramis (Parosphromenus deissneri). The male has very pretty colors (shown on last two photos). Female is shown in first two photos.
