Hi its great to be here and think this may be the place to ID this plec.I bought it a few months ago as LDA33 and it dd come home black with white spots
Its is now brown with orange spots, i've had a look through the articles etc but after a while they all look similer.Its approx 3in, very shy and loves algae wafers.Many thanks for any help!!

Hi!
Welcome here!
Due to the black band in the dorsal fin idve said it looks a lot like L102 but ive never seen it with yellow spots...

Looks like L102 to me as well.
There seems to be a general yellowish tinge to the picture.Is it the lighting, wood or my imagination ?
Do the spots look yellow to you in the tank?

Hi!
Yeap it is an Hypancistrus sp L102...
Some specimens have yellow spot, that is normal...
Cheers

Thank you i do beleive your right
That photo was taken when in a different tank where the lights are quite yellow, now its in the main tank with much better lights and yes the spots do look more white now
Is there anything i need to be aware of as its in with discus and a small L191.Is it normally such a shy fish as the panaque is all over the place while the snowball seems nocturnal.
Thanks again
