Very nice looks like a very turquoise fish, but i feel it may be the photo. What species is it, I can't quite tell, it's not the Baryancistrus is it?

Great pics mate!
 
I think it is a Baryancistrus Phantom ...

This is the best shot I can get so far ...

I almost had a better shot but in a 2 inch by 3 inch (give or take) cave it seems everyone wants to occupy it from the Black Ghost Knife, to one of the Blood parrots to a red Bay Snook to the Green Phantom ...

I could probably get rid of 205 gallons of water and keep them happy! :screwy:

It is a baryancistrus. Green phantoms should not generally have white spots unless they are a northern variant. Blue phantoms sometimes have white spots, but usually blue, and green's have yellow spots generally. They should not be that reclusive, what are you keeping with it?

It's probably a bit disturbed with camera flash :grinno:

As previously stated, it is a baryancistrus, and the spots are not white in that picture either. White spot L200s are fairly rare, and come from the north. Yours is a standard olive green with yellowish spots.
