Hi,

my reflexes say it´s Liposarcus (or Pterygoplichthys) anisitsi.

But that wouldn´t be from Colombia..

Cheers, Sandor

There are only 7 branched dorsal-fin rays on the fish, so it would be a
Hypostomus
or a
Squaliforma

Is there any locational information with the photo? That would help a lot.
