Hi Dave!!

I would trust Eschmeyer regarding this...so basically feminine!!

Different experience here. In a large tank things went okay, but in a tank of 100x30x40 (cms) 6 of them were apparently too many, despite the fact they did well at the LFS (OutsideInside) and in the bag. They were not very fond of eachother, which resulted in a count down. The last specimen did wel...

if you can pm the author of the topic for such question.

Also it would be nice to write "normally" as when you write in capital letters it means you are shouting!!

Thank
You

Hi!!

Hi!! I kept mine in a rather big tanks with lots of floating plants in different zone of the tanks... I never witness any schooling, they are much individuals, they would also rest in their own little place, either in floating plants or in the diftwood also!! Never seen any agression or anything lik...

Hi!!

Yes I agree that it was L082!!
Cheers
Yann

Hi!!

If possible I would love one copy as well!!
In advance thanks
Cheers
Yann

Hi!!

I agree with the idea of the skin been eaten by another fish, but to confirm this I would need more info on the tank size and furniture and tank mates
Cheers
Yann

Hi!!

Well...either overfed, bloated...doesn't look really good...

dark colour, the lighter patch, the overexpended body...tend to show that she is sick!!

How is its behaviour?? doesn't it move much?? especially during feeding??

cheers
Yann

Hi!!

I said it show typical Ancistrus morphology and caracteristics.

Regarding the species...difficult to say as some are really similar.
Cheers
Yann

Hi!!

Well it works better on tubes or caves closed in one side!!

You ll find them in different type of current, almost none to good flowing so basically it doesn't matter much
Cheers
Yann

Any chance this could be L092, Lasiancistrus tentaculatus? I'm just curious and have no record of good catfish IDs to speak of, so I am probably a million miles away ;) Hi!! Nope, this is typical Ancistrus species, tentacules... By the way Driftwood, it would be nice if you take some time to introd...

Hi!!

Yes really nice species...thanks for sharing!
While we are at it, it would be nice to take some time to introduce yourself to others in the Speak Easy section!!
Thanks
Cheers
Yann

Hi!!

Also forgot, it would be nice to take some time to introduce yourself in the Speak Easy section while we are at it!!
Many thanks

Hi!!

I should have paid more attention when I was reading!!
Well looking at the video, I should say your fish look like some member of the Hypancistrus species group.
Possibly L401, that would be the closest I could find!!

No Peckoltia compta for sure, neither it is L340 or L129

Narwhal72: Do you know how long this law has been into action. PixieDustRanch: You said you rescued it from somewhere else, how long since you have it, maybe the person who gave it to you was aware of this and gave it for this reason... By the way may I ask you to introduce yourself in the Speak Eas...

Hi!!

Yes Peckoltia compta for the top one

The bottom pic looks like a Hypancistrus, I believe it to be L340 / debilittera
But other pictures should help confirm it!!
Cheers
Yann

Hi!!

Most likely

Cheers
Yann

Hi!! I think that if you found the L411 male with the eggs, there is no reason to think he is not the father, I have never seen an individual taking care of the fry or eggs of another...he would certainly eat it that care of them...too much energy for futur individuals not carrying his genes!! Cheer...

Hi!! That is interesting, still I can see some orange coloured present on the head!! The specimens involved will depend what would have been present in th tank. It is always tough to determin the parents as all have reticulated pattern!!The same could be said with 2 spotted species It could easily p...

Hi Milton!!

I would also believe it would be H. furunculus, the only thing that is putting me off is the size and the individual is 5 years old at least so fully mature!!

A mature "full grown" H. furunculus shoud be at least twice this size!!
Cheers
Yann

Hi!!

Dentitions seems to say Hypancistrus...an odd looking H furunculus or debiliterra

Cheers
Yann

Hi!!

If I remember correctly someone in Germany bred these but since they had no access to internet, nothing had been really shared...but this is a few years old already...at least 5 years I think!!
Cheers
Yann

Hi!!

Even if he hasn't reached its full adult size!! He has certainly reach sexualité maturity!
Cheers
Yann

Hi Dave!!

Any chance for a picture of the mouth!!

Pattern would be L127
But some features make it looks like a Hypancistrus
Still L127 should be a more likely ID as both L126 and L127 were often contaminants of each others in shipping out of Colombia!!
Cheers!!
Yann

Hi Dave!!

Either a very young Hypancistrus sp L270

otherwise could be a possible ID!
Cheers
Yann

Hi!

Yes it does look like Peckoltia sp L147!!

Cheers
Yann
