This fish also looks like a potentially gravid female, but that's only going to be my guess if they aren't recently imported. The level of odontodal growth changes drastically after that first 6 months, IME.

Thanks much Barbie and Mangopleco. This fish was recently acquired by me while I was told that the supplier had kept it for a while. It was claimed to be a 100% male fish while I serious doubted it. In addition, with the given caves, it never loves to stay inside. Instead, it always hangs around on the drift wood...

Well, i am in Asia while blue-eye panaque is available from major exporters in South America now.
Yes, the price is high and the price here can be even higher than what you mentioned!...
