Thanks.

Is there a better picture of the dorsal fin (where the fin rays can be counted)? I would like to say
Glyptoperichthys joselimaianus
, but I cannot be sure without one.

Hi!

It could also be
Hypostomus regani
or
Hypostomus margaritifer
...

Cheers

It´s sure an hypostomus for parana drainage in Argentina/paraguay. The name used here is H. albopunctatus but i´m not sure if it´s correct.
