Looks more like an L129 or L270 to me.

I think it's L129. It doesn't have the right pattern for L199.
L270 has wider and more distinct lines, so I would go for the L129.
But it would help to know where it was caught.

Dunno, the eyes make it look more like L199 to me.

looking at the pics in the cat e log, the L199 has more straightened, thicker black bars than my fish. That aside, of the photos I find here, L129 has the closest resemblence to mine. But seeing them all next to each other, How can one tell? I would like to give you better pics or a feature of the fish that can help you determine what it is. I'd like to know what to call it.

Yann,
What's with all the underscores?
Jools
PS I really do think it is an L199 for the reasons Yann agrees with.

I am sure and agree with them that say this is L199 Hypancistrus.
