Although the pictures are very poor for ID'ing a fish, I do think it's a Pterygoplichthys species, most likely P. pardalis. The body and dorsal fin shape don't look like Hypostomus to me.
 
I don't see how one could tell based on those pics, tbh....

Can you get a pic that actually shows the fish, rather than a blurred silhouette covered by a reflection? :grinno:
 
I really don't wanna net them so thats the best I can really get...once they're bigger i'll bump the thread with a clearer photo :)

Doesn't the tank have a light? All you would probably have to do to get a better pic would be to have some source of light above it, then just turn off the room's light and take another pic. We don't need a POTM quality pic, but it would be helpful to at least be able to see its pattern and shape.

I agree
 
I was also guessing pardalis like Matubala.
