The first one looks like a common bristlenose. Medusas are quite a bit darker with a much flatter shaped head. Definitely not them.
The second one is a calico or marble bristlenose, a man made variant that is definitely having a big rise in popularity lately.

i think im going to have to take a pen and paper with me when i go to the shops, lol,
yeah ive looked up more medussa, its definatly not that, i think it is just a bristlenose, my others are spotted i just wondered if there was another name for this one in the first 2 pics.
as for the 3rd pic, i will go back to the shop with my pen and paper,
i know it was called golden something, i might be completely wrong, but hey they are sooo cute,
thanks

i agree.
a friend of mine has 5 of these marbled bn, they seem to change colour depending on what surface there on, from a light shade to a dark shade and everwhere in between.
