I got one at two month before, the boss say it is L320, but I'm sure it's not L320. This fish is very popular in japan,because we can found it in japan websites very easy.

Well it could be but I find the body not being high enough to be one.
The head is pretty similar to the Acanthicus but the rest of the body is more typical of Pseudacanthicus...

Hi Janne, Sorry about my photo 1 & 2 to make you confused that it's Acanthicus hystrix,
I'm sure that it's not Acanthicus hystrix, the head of the Acanthicus hystrix is big and sharp, but this one is little bit wide and small.

This pleco also not L320, I compared with the followed websites, I'm sure the fish in my photo isn't L320 too.

There had two of this unknown pleco in the shop, one of it already sold, I'll post some new photo later, I hope someone can tell me what it is.

Hi,
the fish reminds me on a dark colour variant of Pseudacanthicus spinosus which was imported with about 50 normal coloured Pseudacanthicus spinosus to Germany around 1994. When stressed the fish brightened up even nearly to the normal colouration of P. spinosus. However, when it died it maintained the dark colouration when preserved. Unfortunatly i lost the preserved fish when i moved to another house. Although i didn't take any countings to compare with P. spinosus, im pretty sure it was merely a colour variant. Here is a (not very good...) picture.
Greetings... Achim

Sorry , I did not understand.
You determined that is "Pseudacanthicus spinosus"?
In mine fourth forehead picture, determined its forehead position is does not have the spot shape.

I'm not sure about spinosus but I have 5 leopardus and one of them dont have spots on the forehead so maybe not all speciemen's in the Pseudacanthicus family look exactly the same. I mean in the same species they can look different.
I'm not 100% sure of your fish but I dont think I can help you any further, try to take a new photo a little closer and with the flash on so it will looks more brighter.

(1)When yesterday I saw L320 is extremely similar.
But or had 1. difference, is on my picture fish, on the main body body is does not have the spot, when L320 just imported, observed on the main body body to have the black spot.
(2)I once heard some friends to tell me, in "Aqualog" book L186 is corrected into L185, this was real?
(3)Some people may help to reply my this content?
To that matter, I from before wants to know and not to understand.
