That's right Schneezeball :lol:. Well, at least that's what it was sold to me as. Not sure what it is, to be honest. This one's a difficult ID. It most closely resembles Ancistrus dolichopterus (pg 365 of Baensch Vol. 3) but they only get to about 4" and my guy's 6". Baryancistrus niveatus (pg 380 of Baensch Vol 3) is another possibility, but the spots on that one seem fewer and farther between. A third possibility is Leporacanthicus galaxias (pg 386 of Baensch Vol. 3). Although the finnage of this species seems a little more flamboyant than my guy's....this one is a strong possibility.
Anyway,...here it is:

I bought it March 23, 2003, so it's at least 4 years old. It was about half the size it is now when I bought it.
Asking $30.

I also have a Clown Loach for sale, $10.

Cheers:smile:,
