If I'm not mistaken you have 2 L083's. Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps. They are very similar. Judging by the shape of the dorsal. My L001's look nothing like yours. The dorsal fin cuts back in on a L001. Compare with mine.

See what I mean about the dorsal fin cutting back twards the head before connecting with the body. If I'm not mistaken the number of spines on the dorsal is also a big indicator. Gibbies have more.
