Post pictures of your beloved catfish aquaria here. Also good for pictures of your (cat)fish rooms or equipment discussions. If you are posting pictures of identified catfish, please do so in the appropriate husbandry and reproduction forum above.
first of all is that a good idea to put those 2 together.

Hypancistrus sp.L 199---1m/2f

my cats:
Ancistrus temnicki(2m/3f)
Ancistrus sp.Rio Ucayali
Paraotocinclus sp.Pernambuco(group)
L 199 x 2
Panaque nigrolineatus x 1
Corydoras aeneus x 3
Corydoras matae x 3
Corydoras arcuatus x 1
Rineloricaria eingemani x 5
Synodontis petricola x 3
What species of ancistrus are they? I would probably say not to mix them as the Hyp's will prefer a meatier diet & i'd allow a square foot of substrate per adult meaning you could have 4 adult fish (as a rough guide)

can i expect teritorial fights(specilay males?),if i will keep them together ?
they will be moved,but not earlier than in about 2 months.
thanks

I wouldn't expect too much direct aggression between different species...i have a pair of commons in a 24x12x15 & the male is approx 6" & chases the female away at every opportunity (they still breed regularly)
