This one was for sale at my LFS, as Pseudacanthicus Sp...
After some studying i get a feeling this is a Hypancistrus species...
Anyone with some ideas...

Hi!
Your fish is an Hypancistrus, very likely to be L201, Hypancistrus cf inspector since obviously the real one hasn't been imported yet...

Thanks Yann

In the post on GOC, Janne also thinks this is a Hypancistrus Sp 201.
Reason : The bodyshape is similar, and they are also exported often as L007 and L240 as the wholesale dealer view them as young edtion of galaxias.
I wonder if anyone could confirm this?

In the tank in the shop there was indeed some galaxias.

Hi!

It can happen yes.I also saw it the other way around, a friend ordering L201 6-7cm and ended up with L240 of 20-25cm...

Actually I think these sort of thing are usually mistake from the workers, that are preaparing the orders... for such type of error...
