How many months are they...they apear to be 4 months or so...if that is the case they are some sort of fryeri species.

Definetly Calvus just google em and you will have as much info as you want.

Awsome fish, they like really good quality water, high Ph and stable temps.

definitely calvus.
they are super slow growers and prefer high pH water. I would say 7.5-8 would keep them happy.
keep your water clean with regular changes and that will improve their growth rate i find.
biggest one i've seen is about 5"
