Hi!

Yes it is an Hypancistrus!

And it could be an inspector!
But due to the rather good number of Hypancistrus species showing a black background coloration and white/yellow spot... I shall say it is a bit early to be able to be sure 100% it is Hypancistrus inspector!
It could well turn out to be L4/5 L28 L73 L201 L339 L158 L136...and I might forget some..
Cheers
Yann

Hi!

The little snowball survived the night and looks much better today. i also added a 400 l/h pump to the quarantine tank and hes sitting in the current breathing normal.

Think its a great pickup for 5 euro...
