Ancistrus tamboensis vs. Ancistrus spec. "Wabenmuster"

Post by sunfish »

I am quite sure that the pictures of Ancistrus tamboensis show in fact A. spec. "Wabenmuster". The latter is routinely sold as A. tamboensis, but according to the Welsatlas II is a different species.

*edit*
On the contributer's homepage they are listed as A. spec. "Wabenmuster" too.
Cheers,

On the original photographers site it's listed as BOTH A. tamboensis (thumbnails of species) and A. sp. "Wabenmuster".

I'm not sure what the difference is...
