My first impression was Hypancistrus sp. santarem. However, I only recently started looking at another fish, Hypancistrus sp. gurupa, that is even more similar. Based on the limited pics I've seen, I would guess sp. gurupa.

Hi,

thanks a lot for all your replies.
I don't think L 66 or L 333 because i've these species too and they are different to this one.

I can't find any suitable photo from Hypancistrus Guru Pa.

regards
Jeanne
