Hi Everyone.

I haven't post here in a few years but I hope some of you remember me. Haakon things it could be Pseudacanthicus sp Hystrix but I haven't seen anything quite like it ever but again I don't spend much time online like some of you.

Any comments will be great privately or the forum

Irrespective of what we call it, which is complex (isn't it always!) I would agree and say it is this: .

Nice specimen....I agree with Jools that it probaly is the Histrix.

It has a nice pattern but sometimes the pattern disappears when the pleco gets older. Nice example; the L065

Thanks guys.

I've found this very similar picture. What do you guys think?

Are you comparing that to your fish at the top of this thread? If so, IMHO, the dorsal fin looks very different, as do some other features.

Cheers, Eric

Nah, that's a young Panaque in the amazonas article.

Yeah... I thought so too...
It is not so easy when no other resources are found to compare with. I hate to think that this will be a 1 off specimen found.

Well, from what others are saying, by the time that fish grows up, its colors will have changed and it will look more like a typical adult. That said, we don't have any photos of juvenile P. histrix on the CLOG page. Could we please upload your photos to the CLOG page for this species?
