Jools, it was more of a question than an answer. And of course you are absolutely correct in your statement of simularity to different sp. and unknown location. :) I said... Could it be simular.... to the parnaibae??? But to answer your question of me, I would say that some differences would have to...

Could it be simular to this....

Glyptoperichthys parnaibae???[/url]

I'm sorry, I'm not as up on plecs as you lot - just going on what Shane said on PF which was that maximum SL was 11-12", and that they didn't go over that to his knowledge. I've personally seen what I would class as liposarcus at much bigger than 11-12" (but as I said to Shane if there's ...

Congratulations Doctor SILURUS!!!! Quite an acheivement indeed!

Definitely not a L134.

Definitely not a common. Could perhaps be a starlight but I believe there are a few species with spots... It is definetly a beauty!

Postively male. Nice!

Doh! Thanks for clarifying. That top pic has interesting striping for an L226, although I've not seen any juvies, only adults so that is perhaps where my malfunction was. I still see in that L206 that the stripes are broken in the caudal and the markings not as clear in the head region as stated in ...

I would say that the top two are L206... at the least. The bottom two look more like the L226 but...???

Hi there, welcome to Planet Catfish! Is it possible to perhaps get some different photos than you posted here in this thread...???

Good luck to you.

Oh My...

Definitely not L333... I've only seen but a pic or two of the L206 but what I can gather... it appears that the markings aren't as clear on the head and the striping is a little bit different on the body at minimum... (I'm sure it is possible for there to be "other" differences) but Siluru...

MatsP, I have an adult male albino bristle nose who is now four years old, and it wasn't until the past two years that the bristles have really come in, I bought it as a young female and did for about the first two years would have put money down that it was a female due to lack of bristles. As I do...

Agreed. L001 and a nice one!

Definitely a he.

Here is a link to the LDA08 Claro that includes "care" information.... http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/lo ... /152_F.PHP

We'd be glad to see some pics! Mine love daphnia and veggie/spirulina pellets.

Hi, I was able to get a few better pictures. Does the dorsal still looked deformed to you? (If yes, can you explain why?) Thank you!!! http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d183/pureplecs/Plecos-Catfish/LU9.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d183/pureplecs/Plecos-Catfish/LU8.jpg http://i35.photobucke...

Hi! Currently around 3-4" growing like a weed... What am I?

Is your LFS able to know where the fish in question came from? With the hundreds of ancistrus sp. it is sometimes difficult if not impossible to pinpoint without a collection point. It does remind me with the patterning you spoke of ancistrus sp.1 as well... one would think that the LFS would know i...

Can you please let us know what the length is of this fish? Judging from the pics that you posted it appears way to big to be an LDA08... I personally don't think it looks like one... at all. Check out this pic of an adult male LDA08... http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/loricari/ancistru/152_14.P...

Hi, I think it is a female if it is an adult as well. Check out this picture of a male of Barbie's that has awesome odontadotal growth...

Barbie, I just love this picture...

They go crazy over zuchini...

Oh my! I have two of those and I cannot believe how plump the one is in your picture! Wow!

Thank you Jools! I was just hoping the site wasn't crashing or anything, glad to know it's not!
Have a great week!

Maybe I am just mental today but I could have just swore I went into the catelog and there are no pictures! Did something happen? EEEEEP!

I say female. I have a couple species of bristle nose that the females have bristles around the mouth like your pic and a couple that do not have any bristles at all (but never up the snout). If it were a male, judging by how long the bristles around the edge are in your pic, you would see some grow...

Ancistrus sp.5 is still a dwarf species... the long fins just make them appear larger but their bodies really aren't... basically they are the same as sp.2, sp.3 and sp.4 for example just veil fins...

Hi! Is it possible to provide for us you water parameters? (ie. water temp, pH, amonia, nitrites, nitrates, etc) What size tank? What are the other tank mates (I see the fish you have posted above in your signature but are all of these in the same tank)? As much information as possible about the con...

Sweet! I've never seen those in the LFS before!
