My local vendor actually had one.. I was probably looking at it for 3 weeks without really realizing what it was.. I was looking for a L114 at the time.. and the guy was like i have a similar species if u want it.. I passed it up.. cuz it wasn't a L114.. obviously.. he said it was spiny monster.. It had spikes.. I think for 3 months it was in that fish store until it was either gotten rid of or sold off...
Anywho.. i didn't know what it was until i bought the Aqualog Loricariidae book.. thats when i found out it was an L-160... so i saw it once..
