Hypostomus? Cochliodon? Closest I got from the Aqualog All L-Numbers are L-130 Hypostomus sp. punctatus and L-139 Cochliodon oceleus? Or is this the Hypostomus plecostomus?

It doesn't look like a <i>Cochliodon</i> to me, as they tend to have deeper bodies.
You can try using Jon Armbruster's loricariid key at http://george.cosam.auburn.edu/usr/key_ ... e/key.html for identification.
