Would appreciate if you can help to ID my fish.
It looks very much like a... gibbiceps?
sorry for the bad angle. He/She is still new to the tank.

Hi jarayrapheal,
Yes that is a bad camera angle.
. A better photo would yield a more confident ID. But even so, I think you're correct:
.
Cheers, Eric

thanks for the ID.
I'll let him/her ease into the environment first.
He/She is quite elusive and in hiding. LOL!

As the male burrows a hole in the clay, which is norrmally around 1 meter in length, I am afraid breeding will not be an option.
I can't tell any clue about sexing them. Still, the normal way to sex Lorricarids - males broader near the pectoral fins, females broader in the belly region might apply.
