As i look it this fish more and more it sort of does look like a Leporacanthicus. Can you take a pic of the mouth from the bottom?

Thank you i agree.It only seems like his head is growing so i believe its more like a L-176.

is is 6 inches long but 4 inches wide.He has a fat head.

if thats the case then hes definitely L176.

A mouth shot would help. The teeth will tell you if it is a galaxy.

This fish is no way any of the Parancistrus sp.

i would bet my collection that this plec is a Leporacanthicus sp. The camera angle is also a little distorting, nice pickup.

looking at it now it does seem to be Leporacanthicus...

actually, it could have been a Parancistrus nudiventris with an odd pattern. the pic makes the body shape similar to that of all the parancistrus species.

Any chance we can see more pics? It's a tough angle to ID a pleco from. Seeing that you have gotten a better look at it, you're probably right. However, I want to see more of the odd patterned fish!
