Pseudorhinelepis sp. L152?

I can't tell you a whole lot about them, but I do have one and it's probably my favorite fish if I was forced to actually pick one..

Mine spends most of it's time swimming around quite gracefully out in the open, a bit like a much larger fish would (it's only 5"SL). It does rasp on the assorted greens, squashes & other veggies I provide, but not quite as much as the small gibby & many Ancistrus do. With that in mind, I'd assume that whatever's good for common sailfins (Liposarcus), would be good for them.

If you're wondering anything about their natural habits/habitat or how big they get, I'd love to have a clue myself!
