Hi guys, I bought this one, yesterday, I think that is an Hypancistrus sp. L270. What do you think? Here some photos, they´re not so good, but well...

Can you catch him and take a pic of his mouth? Not sure it's a Hypancistrus...it can be a Peckoltia.

If the mouth look like this it's a Hypancistrus:

And like this a Peckoltia.

Yes it does look very close to but even like , and even like L377 or L382, it seams to be a small speciemen and can be hard to tell apart but a pic of the dentition would help a little.

Thank you pals! I think that it is not those what you say, it looks very similar to Hypancistrus sp. L270. See this pic:

I think it's L377.
Let's see the mouth.
