L340 mega clown. That's my guess.

Brazil, Colombia or captive bred?

Caudalfin/pattern/eyes fit young fish from L066/L399/L400 group.

I agree with Haakon. Scribbled Hypancistrus is a mess lately to ID... With the forked tail, L66/ L400 is your best bet.
Every great achievement begins with a dream ;-)
