If the colour is true, I think its this plec. Its a Baryancistrus of some sort, I dont think its been given an L/LDA number.

I saw one a while back at Riverwonders and they were claiming it is a cross between Mango and Gold Nugget.

Do you know that or speculating?

I have never heard mango and gold nugget can mate.. they might be similar species.. but breeding between the two have never been confirmed..

I would jump to conclusions so fast yet..
