Very interesting fish Watters...

It's color pattern does match Glyptoperichthys joselimaianus (L001/022)...

But the head & body shape seem to be more like an Ancistrine ple co, including the fins that seem too small for a young Glypto.

Have any more pics of this fish you can post? Namely a side shot.

L-238/LDA-40 maybe.

Not only is the head and body shape wrong for L001, the dorsal-fin base is also too short and I am fairly certain that this is a fish with 7-8 dorsal-fin rays (and not 11-14 for L001).
