ID UNKNOWN ANCISTRUS

Post by Joey1994 »

I bought 1 male and 1 female from a breedeR.
They both come from different parents.

Can anyone give me an exact idea of this ancistrus?
I tought it was just a regular albino form but as you can see the male has a red spot on his head.
These are pictures from the man i bought them from. They are a little to shy to take my own pictures.

It is indeed just the albino form of the common ancistrus.

fry will be albino if both parents are albino.

The red spot is there on many of the albino bristle noses.
