Looks more like some kind of Hypancistrus to me. Check the Cat-eLog.

I think it is a young L270.

Hi!
Yes it is an Hypancistrus... either L270 or also could be L316...
Cheers

Thanku for the answers!
I agree that it is a Hypancistrus after having seen the pictures!
In the pictures that is shown here it might have been a little stressed, it had just come in the aquarium after a 3 hours trip, it darkend a littlebit after a few hours!
It´s now most likly to be the L270, the color is not as sharp in the edges as the L316! or is that individual?
thanks for your help!

Hi!
I ain't so sure about L270...
In the Aqualog the latest L-number, one picture of L316 is very similar to your fish...
Cheers

You are the proud owner of a wormline!! Beautiful fish when they have settled. I have one myself. Don't know the L number offhand but I know they are quite rare. Good find.

Hi Moto!
You are the proud owner of a wormline!!
This description would also fit to about 5 other (or even more)
Hypancistrus sp. and as i dont think that it is hard to get when you want some the different catching places make it rare. For example the L340, L236 and so on. Still its a very nice fish!
