I'm still not convinced the fish in the original post are Ancistrus sp. Rio Ucayali,
because I think that the possibilities is more.

and more

Hi,
i send more photos my fry to simplify

Milan

"What size are your A. punctatus".... male have 16cm, but they are not fish caught in the wild, they would certainly have grown larger.
and I had by rearing fry exactly the same problems as described Ingo Seidel with rearing L182, maybe just a coincidence?
some photos:

"Can you explain based on which characteristics you identify this fish as Ancistrus punctatus 'L182'? The fish in the pictures clearly displays reddish/orange hue on it's fins which is not a characteristic of A.Puntactus." Hi, I borrowed a book Wels Atlas Band 2 by Ingo Seidel and Hans-Geo...

Hi,

It is brazilian Ancistrus sp. L 182.

Milan

Hi Saul, I've never seen this color L260, are very nice. They are special L260 :D , have a lot yellow color in stripes. My L260 have white stripes. I do not think they are L411. For comparison: http://www.hypancistrus.eu/fotogalerie/hypancistrus-sp-l260/ http://www.hypancistrus.eu/hypancistrus-sp-l4...

Hi,

you're probably too strait cave, male is like, but for female are dangerous and for eggs is not also ideal.
And better to have separate 1 male individually with 1-2 females, they have quieter and are not so nervous and do not fight together.

Milan

7 female?
Do you have some photo whith a better graphics resolution?

When is good water quality, is not problem with the hatch without parental (male) care. Most breeders however are not able to replicate parameters of the Amazonian water (very soft < 20 mikroSiemens], so the male during incubation in handy. By the time the fry begin to move in the eggs, male slightl...

Hi,

it is 100% male... Ancistrus sp. Rio Ucayali or L182, they are very similar.

Milan

Good luck with the discussion on this topic ;) Hi, do not be afraid of discussion about blunt noses, it is not a genetic issue, the cause is very simple. There are so many great aquarium fish breeders here in Czech Republic with extensive experience and they are confident. :thumbsup: There appeared...

Hi Larry,

in my avatar is L 401 (Hypancistrus sp. L333 "New Alenqer"). Look et his parents and brothers and sisters here:
http://www.hypancistrus.eu/hypancistrus-sp-l401/
There are all normal coloured catfishes. Only once has wide yellow stripes.
He has now just about 6 cm.

female

I bet the L340: O)
L270 have thicker stripes.

Hi, I bought the same fish as yours in Germany as the L 400, I think they look identical. I also bought too L 66. When the fish were small (3cm), went to tell the difference between them. So I put together. Recently I decided to categorize them because they have grown up, but it was difficult. L400 ...

Hi,

I think they're L004 male and female.
My pair of L 004 is lighter and I have some older male because is has stronger spines, but compare the shape of the body, head and fins. I think you bought as well as I do.

Hi,

L260

Milan

Hi,

for me it is L66

Milan

Hi,

i thing that it is young female.

Milan

Hi, I think you have two pairs. The L199 is quite difficult to identify the sex especially in young fish, according to my experience in shooting (strong light,stres) the males are more lighter, females remain under strong light the darker and more contrast, no strong stress coloration as males.I wat...

for me it is female:O)

Hi Jac,

1 - male
2 - female
3 - i am not sure, 70% male/30% female
4 - male

Milan

Hi,

for me it is L411.

Milan

they differ significantly in juvenile coloration. There are also differences in body shape, but that is easier to see if you have seen them both in real life. Hi Sandor, this Ancistrus is very mysterious. I bought them 10 years ago as Ancistrus hoplogenys, recently i found article that it isn´t A. ...

"Where on earth did you get that? These three are not the same species." Hi, can you tell me please what differences are between these "species", aside from habitat? http://www.l-welse.com/reviewpost/showproduct.php/product/132/cat/44 http://www.l-welse.com/reviewpost/showproduct...

I think that is L120 = L182 = Ancistrus sp.Rio Ucayali

Hi,

Myric wrote:The colour doesn't seem to match. Does this specie have many colour variations?

Yes, this Ancistrus sp. Brown have yet another colour variation....SUPER RED.


Milan

Hi,

I think that is A. spec. Rio Ucayali. The spots on the body are very variable.I see any white border on the fins. And orange/brown color on the fins have got usually only young fisches, fisch from Bigger Amundsen is older as fisch in picture from Sunfisch.
