Pretty sure it's not - I'd suggest it's either or a species.

Nice fish.

I don't know what it is, because I don't have the experience like the other guys here, but it's definitely not L333, since I have some of those. I also have some and although the pattern looks similar, it's not quite right and the body shape is all wrong.

so you think it's definitely not a hypan? I'm confused between thinking it's a hypan or a peckoltia , his mouth is very small

I agree with Yann.

The pic of the teeth could help.

Small mouth is not a good key - it pretty much rules out Baryancistrus and possibly Ancistrus (among the commonly traded fish). Hypancistrus have few teeth, Peckoltia have quite a lot of teeth, but a fairly small mouth. Panaque have a small number of teeth, but they are different shape than Peckoltia and Hypancistrus.

I think these could be young (LDA01).
I would lean toward Panaque but here is a photo of a young
wild for comparison.

Young Panaque are not patterned like this, the eye is too big for the right Panaque species, there are translucent areas between the unpaired fin rays AND in the video it's natural fright state is to stick its fin up and sit on the bottom. Panaque (olus) will mostly invert onto nearby surfaces.

For me, 100%, - zero doubt in my mind.

Seeing the video, I agree with P. compta. When looking at the photos, the stripes looked too straight/symmetrical (if you look at the 10 week old juveniles in the Cat-eLog, you'll see what I was looking for), but in the video, it's very clear that the bands aren't as straight as they look in the still photos.
