Hi,
Possibly captive bred
(L202) These pictures are not as clear as the ones in my reference book.
OR
......
Interesting.....
Here (PC) L205 is on the same cat-elog data sheet as
.
However the reference book Back to nature guide to L-Catfishes, remarks: Peckoltia brevis, "Very similar to L205, from Peru, from which it can, however, be distinguished by, for example, the sometimes almost pink base coloration."
A couple of nice looking boys.
Cheers
Geoff

or (more likely?)
, perhaps.
I don't believe it's L205/P. brevis, as it should have spots on the belly, which (from what I can see) your fish doesn't have. L202, in the pictures we have, doesn't have circular(ish) spots, but irregular blotches on the nose.

The top-left fish looks like L129.
