Thought this may be a royal of some sort but there are 2 things that make me think it isnt....

1. The 'Teeth' it has on its lips

2. the 'U' shaped tail it has

Any info on if male/female and what breed it is is welcome thanks.

P.S Its name is Ralph at the moment due to the perfect 'R' it has on its tail! :yes:

It is a royal of some kind, not sure exactly which one though, one of the panaque nuts will have to have a go at that one for you

Looks like maybe a juvenile Panaque schaeferi.

They go through the worst ugly stage from all the large panaque. Yours seems to be starting that stage they're great fish
