Anyone know what this one is?

Hey Everybody:

Just got a couple of these guys at my local fish warehouse - but they had no idea what they were.

My best guess is L86, but it doesn't look quite right (perhaps L115, L73, L107 as well). Looks like a Vampire (L7 or L29), but that's not quite right either...

Sorry for the bad pics...

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Bob

Thanks. L240 is probably the closest fit (although, they do seem to have a couple spots at the edges of the fins).

Cheers,

Bob

hate to add to the confusion but it also looks like it could be a peppermint pleco.

Although the cat-elog link to P.nudiventris doesn't seem to work, the morphology of the fish is indicactive of a Leporancanthicus species.

In particular, the shape of the mouth and caudal fin indicate this.
