Welcome aboard

It will be easier to identify when they mature and color up.

They look like altifrons to me.

 

[Jonniewalkr]

I don’t think they are Heckel I since their base color is pink on tail and every fin they have also they don’t have the black stripe on mouth

They are not A. heckelii. They're either young altifrons or abalios, probably the former if no lateral spot develops or if it's tiny.

I agree with "not heckelii"

Altifrons much closer guess IMO, though there are a few species which look very similar especially while young, so a positive ID may be difficult
