Ok, any loach specialists?
I'm quite shure both of these are Gastromyzon but which... First is probably punctulatus but what's second....?

I agree. Both appear to be Gastromyzon, with the first very likely being Punctulatus. The second one is unfamiliar, but there are still many loach species either yet to be described scientifically or their categorization is not easily found by hobbyists. Could be either (or neither).

Not much help, I know. :dunno:

pendragon!
 
Second has cameleon ability. It changes it's color to very pale when it is on sand and very dark when it is on rock or wood. It could be G. ridens (Loaches online) but I don't think that G. ridens has actually ever brought to hobbyists so it's probably some other species.....? They are not shy either nor 10cm long ~I presume~ (my loaches I mean), so only pictures look like them.

This is bit blurry picture, but darker color on different base (than sand) can be seen quite good.
