!or maybe you have 5 gold nugget's and you are in for a surprise? haha. just kidding.
That would have been awesome for this to have been a mistake, but oh well.
I'm glad the ID is confirmed though for a BN :)
can't wait for him to grow and add those unique features of his bristles

Looks to me like a juvi of Ancistrus dolichopterus based on the two-coloured backfin and tail (even though they are a bit ragged).

Max length of about 5 inches as opposed to the foot long L018 or golden nugget.

I don't see the yellow edge to the fin or tail that would make me think gold nugget, but it looks like a small BN to me.

Thanks guys!
I'll see how he colors up with age and adjustment to his new environment. That picture was from about an hour after I transferred him from QT to my 40b.
