Hi All,

Pic of what looks similar to a Zebra Otto but somehow looks different, maybe a Microlepidogaster species ?

Cheers Bagrus. I linked 2 species sternoptychum and spectabilis. Do you think maybe sternoptychum, as the species in pic. does come from Peru.

I am not sure this is N. sternoptychum.  I have not been able to establish the species identity of the common Nannoptopoma that appears in the aquarium trade coming out of Peru.
