I found this guy all alone at a LFS. Any idea of what it is? This is about the best pic I could get of it.

It's a homaloptera.

Homaloptera smithi maybe? Or maybe evenH. stephensoni?

My LFS up here has had a tankful too.(in case you want more?)I think a mixture of smithi, stephonsi, and tweedei.

They had it alone in a tank with some cichlids. I think the only reason it was still alive is that it hid well. I just had to save it.

It is the first of that type I have seen around here.

It was also the only time I had ever seen a hillstream at that shop it is a very small shop with mostly just common fish. So far it seems very happy lounging in the current.
