Hypancistrus contradens?
These are my two pairs of but I'm not sure about my smallest male (in the upper left of the picture). Is him a real contradens?

Re: Hypancistrus contradens?
Great specimens my friend! Based on Aqualog, each H. Contradens can have its own unique pattern. Oftentimes, their spots can be irregular in sizes and shape. Just like a human fingerprint, no two sets are alike. Based on this reference and on my experience keeping a couple of these Hypans, I would say that they are indeed H. Contradens.
