Hope this works as I really couldn't figure out how to get the pictures in this message.

Could be one of these.

I'm not an expert tho', so if someone else says something different, they may well be right... ;-)

The tail is wrong. I couldn't get a better picture unfortunately. The tail on mine is straight between the top of the fin and the bottom - looks almost square. The trouble is he's quite active and wouldn't sit still for his portrait!

Looks to me like it's some sort of Ancistrus sp..
Have a look in the cat-e-log to see what you think.

Cheers, CatBrat.
