Hi,
appears that Ancistrus macrophthalmus is right.

Hi,
well, the "medusa pleco" as I recall it (I´m not so good at common names, especially from different countries) is supposed to be Ancistrus ranunculus.
They are fairly similar to Ancistrus macrophthalmus regarding the body shape, but A. macrophthalmus has larger eyes (hence the name).
And since the eyes of the fish in your pictures are larger than I saw in A. ranunculus (never saw a live A. macrophthalmus as yet), it should be A. macrophthalmus.
Cheers, Sandor
