Hi!

it could be also L33, young specimens, which seems the case with this one, pocess a red tail but loose this as they grow older (pers. com. Marco Lacerda)

but L178 is a good bet especially if this keep its red tail on the long term!

No danger that's a common pleco, even from that pic. I think we will need more pics but I'd go for a species of <i>Ancistrus</i>.

Hi!

Sorry I wanted to say L58 but tipped L33

L58 seems to have smaller spots and less numerous as well, so pretty likely to be L178
