Looks more like Ancistrus (L182) to me.

Definately <I>Ancistrus</I>, maybe L182 but would like to see more of the fins and place of import would be useful (there are a few fish that looks like this).

Hi!
I agree of the ID being an Ancistrus... but because the fish has some orange spot in the fins it could well be L59... interesting when I talked with Sonia Fish-Muller, she told me that Ancistrus hoplogenys has orange spot in ts fins!!!
Cheers

The top edge of the dorsal is orange. :roll:
Unable to see spots as it wont flare.

I'd tend towards L59 then.

Could be L 237 or even L 071.
A better pic would help.
So many look similar.
Good luck with id-ing.
