Just traded 4 Malawi Cichlids for this guy.
It was listed as a Gold Nugget, but I am leaning towards a Green Phantom?
Any help, please.
Thanks,
Rob

not a gold nugget but not positive on id
 
Green phantom (Baryancistrus demantoides).
 
Phantom....
 
This is a particular area in which I have a lot of interest, and expertise. That is an L200 green phantom, but it is not Baryancistrus demantoides, it is Hemiancistrus subviridis. Two very close species, but the lack of tissue between the dorsal and adipose give it away. My avatar is like my user title says. Notice the touching dorsal tissue to the adipose.
