IDs for Hypancistrus from Venezuela.

Post by jonathancuotto »

Hi, I Jonathan from Venezuela and I bought two different wc Hypancistrus species.

The first, maybe a Hypancistrus contradens o Hypancistrus sp. (L201). This came with a litle size but there were bigger ones in the store.

The second specie may be Hypancistrus debilittera wich is my guess. Or even Hypancistrus furunculus but for the colours I find most suitable that is the first one.

Hi Jonathan

You are correct with both of your guesses.
H. furunculus has a different head shape and a bigger eye in comparison to your specimen.
