Pretty pleased to pick up this new fellow today!

He is about 8" TL and first time seeing in person. No L-number yet.

Here's some info (only info I can find): http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=897

Imagine a L260 marking on a L90 body is the best way I can describe him. I expect the white markings to be clearer once settled. Common name is Snow King Panaque.

Cheers

Ok serious note, was browsing Mr. Ingo's book, i found he describes this fellow as P. sp. "Iquitos", northern Peru. :)
