Can anyone help me ID these two characters? I am housing them temporarily for a friend whilst he sets up his new 210g and i have no idea what species they are.

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for the ID fellas - any idea how large these two are likely to get (i know the max sizes but realistically what can i expect?

These two are being held temporarily in a 90g before they are transported to a friends 210g but i have fallen for them - could one live comfortably in a heavily filtered (fx5 and fluval 404) 90g for life or shall i dream on? How long could they live in there comfortably before i would need to upgrade?

I have the option to go pick up a few more for £5 a piece......

at least 20" they can however get larger, and yes a 90gal is too short min would be a 180gal....regardless of filtration IMO
