It is a Leporacanthicus spp. but not sure of which one. I would guess likely an L-007 .

Note the diet on this one. These are distinctly more carnivorous than most Loricariids.

Hi,

..and I am 100% sure that it´s a Leporacanthicus sp., one of those looking close to galaxias (or galaxias in it´s own right).
The genus Leporacanthicus is the only genus (besides Lithoxus and Exastilithoxus, which are ruled out by other characteristics) that has "barbles" at the upper lip as is clearly visible in the second picture.

Cheers, Sandor

Nope.

Look at the leading edge of the oral disk.

Sorry Murdock5, but pturley and Borbi are correct.

You can clearly see the fimbriae diagnostic of on the upper lip in picture 2.

This fish matches L029 in DATZ (probably ). Even the colour is correct.
