Male (I think) Bushynose Pl*co. No idea what species. Can anyone ID him? He's about 2.5", and I have had him for a month.

I think it's a
Ancistrus sp(3)
aka Common bristlenose. It's a bit hard to say from the picture, as I'm not sure if the pattern is that dark or the entire photo is a bit dark... If the pattern is actually a bit lighter, then I'd certainly say that this is sp(3).

I agree with Matt. Judging by the picture posted it would appear to be Ancistrus sp.3. :D
