It is not a Parancistrus, it should look like this:

Rather than just say, no it's this or that, I thought I'd (like the post just above) actually say what I see.

Aside from the separate dorsal fins, the initial picture shows the typical fimbrated anterior edge to the suckermouth and the horn like ridge at the back of the head.

I agree with Jools, and the pic of LitosCBR show a Parancistrus.
