totally wrong coloring/patterning to be a dumas even out of the water.

Def not a pseudolithoxus as the head shape/slope is too wrong. A pseudolithoxus head shape will be more smoother and flatter than the specimen shown in the picture

its a 244 dumus that has stressed color trust me I have 6 of these and they all vary in color.
 
Hmm. I'll try to get a tank shot. He's been hiding since I put him in.
Heres the other picture I did get though.

I owned still do have one left of Pseudolithoxus anthrax - a female - first clue was the eyes. its just too wrong to be a Pseudolithoxus though in my opinion.

, let alone colouring of this fish is just too wrong, I've seen plenty of dumas in person to say this isn't one of their variant markings even out of water. eyes, head structure, slope of its head is just too different in my opinion tho

Mind sharing your dumas with the similar-like marking when stressed though as I would like to see more variants as I thought I've seen enough of them from three different sources. Even PCF do not have alot pictures of the dumas. The ones I've seen were more orangish tint to their body overall tho more beautiful than any pictures from PFC. Thought about doing Pseudolithoxus dumas at one point but after owning Pseudolithoxus anthrax pairs, they were too feisty and didn't share as well as other plecos did with their spaces I decided not to pursue owning dumas.
