Not a scribble. It took a bit of looking and I still don't have a species name but it is the "Queen Imperial Zebra" Hypancistrus sp. (L236). It is from Rio Iriri, Para, Brazil.
This picture is from a German site www.transfish.de

thanks "guppy" for the info... now is the hunt for this alien! :grinyes:

gonna tell "lungfishUK" he is also interested... :woot:

maybe this would be the next thing to the existing and expesive ZEBRA PLECO. :headbang2

hope the price is right!!! :thumbsup:
 
I saw a UK article about how this fish is becoming more available and a bit cheaper there now that the Zebra is under export ban. There are a couple that are similar, check with planetcatfish.
 
i had this pleco once but we broke up. she said she didnt deserve me, i guess she was right. then i ate her.

does that mean the price they are asking right now will still go down? :thumbsup:

hope it will... it's a beauty but still quite expensive... would you know if the zebra goes fast or slow? thanks guppy :headbang2 :clap
