L170 is a peckoltia species, yours is actually a butterfly but the L-number is L168 dekeyseria brachyura

From the pics sorry no. Even if the pics were better i wouldn't hazard a guess they still look quite young?, i think if my memory serves me rite, the males tend to be far more hairy than females especially down the tail and the cheek odontodes are much longer?, i could have this wrong lol, i haven't kept flounders for a while
