Not a Peckoltia. female

Larry

Edit- catelog lists them as Peckoltia, but I'm not so sure because of differences in the shape of the head.

Could also be (Hemiancistrus/Ancistomus) L147? I would say a female too. Nice fish!

L147 seems right.
Thanks!
Now the hunt for a male is on :-)

Hi,

the stripes on the body and small dots on the head actually look much more like L 205 (Peckoltia cf. brevis). L 147 and L 387 have more blotches than spots and not this kind of stripes.
