Hi,

the Scobi should be Scobinancistrus sp. "L 253".
A lot of those came in lately from Brazil.

Cheers, Sandor

Hi,

..hate to "spoil the party", but the fish in question actually looks like an Ancistrus sp. to me. If you threaten my life, I would guess it might be what was known as Ancistrus sp. "Blauauge" (Blueeye) here in Germany, which was later found to be identical to an L-Number which I can´t remember.
Anyway, I believe it´s a completely black Ancistrus sp.

Cheers, Sandor

There is not ancistrus. Probably, there is panaque, but that sort unknown.

Definitely in the genus. And not a Hypostomus ex-Cochliodon.

Almost certainly not LDA31 or L204. Or if it is, it's the melanistic form of (completely black form).
