Debate over this fish

[Rivertoad]

A bit of debate over this fish. Someone thinks Ancistrus, others are leaning towards a Baryancistrus or Peckolita. Any help is appreciated!

I was wrong, I think nvcichlids got it right in his/her post.

Ancistrus sp(l309)

Hi,

although the pictures are not really sharp and not perfect for ID'ing I think we can exclude Baryancistrus spp.
A lateral view should reveal that the last ray of dorsal fin does not have a membrane to the body (which Baryancistrus do have).
If you have a closer on the interopercular odontodes it looks very much like an Ancistrus.
Peckoltia spp. have different teeth in this genus they form a V shape, but again the teeth looks pretty much as within the genus Ancistrus.

Cheers,

For me this is Ancistrus sp. L309, no doubt. Lovely fish!

as soon as I saw the belly and body shape I said the same thing.
