need help with ID...

My LFS has a 4" "White Spotted Ancistrus" but any pictures I look at don't look like this one. Hopefully the picture does it justice. From what I've seen of the white spotted, it seems like they have small white dots, while this one has larger ones. The spots do appear to be more white in person than in the picture. Thanks in advance

Looks like either Hypancistrus contradens or Hypancistrus sp. L201.

I would say the same

Appreciate it! It does look like the l201, the LFS is also saying this is WC. I need to ask where it was collected from.

Pretty much all the fancy Plecs are wild caught. That's a really nice looking one. That'd be one I'd buy and look up after I got home to make sure no one else got it

looks like contradens to me, i have f1's of these, they are not hard to breed in tanks. They are from Venezuela. here is a link to species info on planetcatfish: http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=677
