To me this is a littorale, whether or not from Argentina.
Good eater, so start saving money: they become pretty old.
Very attractive fish. Good buy!!

They look like littorale to me. Congrats as I understand you've been trying to get some for a long time. They will learn to feed from your hand in no time. What's fun is to hide a pleco tablet in the palm of your hand using your two middle fingers and let them try to get it. Sort of like teasing your dog with food.

Wholesale Tropicals in London has Lepthoplosternum pectorale, in case you're interested. I got a pair there about a week ago. Pier might also have them on their list if they use the same supplier(s).

got some Pectorale a few months ago thank's. I had littorale about 10 years's ago when i was a wee lad

. Since then i never seen them for sale. These one's ive put in with some very active clown loach and they have settled in really well
