So I got these 2 a while back, but I've never been 100% on ID as there were apparently multiple species in the tank (and I couldn't tell the difference). What do y'all think?

Neither are what I bought them as though the tank was labeled with a mix of what I was sold and sveni.
 
Belly crawler being? And which one is which?
 
Answered my own question... it's simple sp. belly crawler right? Anyways, they were sold as cyclostoma, but there were sveni in the tank as well. Any good info on both these species (the ones I have)? Any potential problems? They're in a 125 with some severums, geos, and Denison barbs.
 
There is plenty of info available on both species as they are the most readily available species. It should do fine with your mates. They are both medium growing pikes with the belly crawler obviously staying on the ground with the Sveni more versatile. They eat anything, are hardy and can handle a wide range of water Params and can be kept anywhere from 76-84 degrees.

Enjoy!
