I have what i am to believe is an angelicus pleco that I picked up a few years ago. Just want another opinion on him/ her and would like to know the sex, max size, etc. and whatever I can to give him or her a happier future. http://imgur.com/a/kIhvI

It looks like a female Ancistrus but I don't know what species...

Can you tell because of the blunt head and the roundish belly on her?

The interopercular odontodes are few, thick, and highly curved on this fish---typical of . A has thinner, longer, and more numerous odontodes.

Photos underwater would help.

Something on the back of my mind says Rio Tocantins but I couldn't tell you why.

hmm, come on people, lets figure this out.

It's definitely not Tocantins. To be honest, without more information about where it was collected and what the males look like, maybe even some nice clear side shots, ID is going to be difficult. It's one of the issues with plecos in general. There are so many that look similar from all over the place.

Thanks Barbie, If you had to guess, just a shot int eh dark, what would be your classification of this fish?
