Agreed. Hypancistrus contradens. And a nice male at that.

Cheers, Eric

Hi Viktor, I'm basing my opinion on the extensive pectoral odontodes this fish has. Also, and oddly to me, I'm keeping L201 and I've never seen odontodes on the caudal peduncles of my males. But this specimen of H. contradens seems to be bristling with odontodes there too.

Cheers, Eric
