I think its Chaetostoma sp. 1 but figured I would check here for verification. Thanks.
He is small, about 2" and I've had him for three years.

Thanks, would you say these are the most abundant Chaetostoma on the market? I imagine they are.

I would think so. By “market”, I take it to mean the US market. I have seen this species most of my time there.
