Hi!

It looks like P. spilosema or ppossibly P. haroldi
But for me both pics show the same species
The 2nd pic probably show the fish in a stress colouation..
Cheers

Hi!

Well if it is its normal colouration, it looks highly similar to Parotocinclus jumbo ( formerly LDA25) but it is a bit different...
Any information under the name you bought it?
Cheers

Hi,

both fish are Parotocinclus sp. "Recife". Younger ones to be exact. If they grow older, they look like this. The species adapts its colouration quickly to the background, thus the different colouration.

Greetings... Achim
