The head shape is wrong for a psuedacanthicus sp. IMO. Also if you look at the first pic you can see fimbrations off the front of the suckermouth. That is only on leporacanthicus sp. that I am aware of. I have pasted a link of a pic from planet catfish showing what I'm talking about.

I believe it is an L-007, but there are so many leporacanthicus that look so similiar. Someone more knowledgeble with the Leporacanthicus sp. may be of more help than me. Great looking fish BTW.

Its either L240 or just a plain Leporacanthicus galaxias.

240: http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=911
L. galaxias: http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=138

I'm betting its a 240.

Wow that one went over my head... I'm normally pretty good with telling a Leporacanthicus galaxias (in general) but didn't even notice this when I saw it earlier and was like WTF when it was brought up but upon further review... yea it is.

The only thing that worries me is the dot size. Yours seem so much smaller then any picture I've seen. Other then that I agree with Plec123

yup, the pattern seems "spot on" (pun intended) for L240.
