Trouble ID'ing this Sax

[Funky_Fish14]

Hey Everyone,

Here is a saxatilis I picked up several months ago. He is a slow grower (has added about 1.5" in 5 months?).

Initially I thought it was a Lepidota, but his pattern has slowly changed. I cant really nail it down and im wondering if im missing something on it that someone else can catch? Thanks!

Here are some older shots of the same fish:

(And yes I am infact using an aquaclear basket as part of the 'decor', haha.

Thanks,

Chris

Helps if you get the group right. . . Definitely a sp. 'bellycrawler'. You should feed it some earthworms! They are crazy cool to watch them eat!

?? Your real funny. If I thought it was a lepidota then sax matches (it seemed closer to a few sax's than anything, plus, reticulata is not a large group)... but since it isn't, im supposed to go change the thread title and original post?

I've tried superworms... will have to try earthworms next.
