Can anyone help with this ID?

Hi Peixes,
I don't know if the ID is correct, but your fish is very similar to the juvenile H. sertanejo shown in the Cat-eLog:

According this site noone in the world keeps this fish ! Is it possible to be first import of wild caught fish ! Peixes buy them immediatelly ! lol

Hi

Thats indeed Hypostomus sertanejo.
The species is being bred by Hudson Crizanto in Brazil, so I guess you purchased some of his offspring.

Hi.
Thanks for your help.
I'm thinking about buying at least one.
But right now I dont have a quarentine tank that I could use! Let's see in a few weeks

Now a lot of LFS are seeling this species, and they are being sold as farm raised and not as wild caught.
So I guess Acanthicus is right. And I think they will problalby be exported.

Yes, oddly, I saw this fish over the weekend. I had no idea what it was, but now I do.
