breeding ancistrus species together ?

Post by perrush »

How do I know which ancistrus species will interbreed ? Or do none of them crossbreed ?

I'm thinking of 2 or 3 species.
- 'normal' albino ancistrus
- LDA08
- L144

As far as I know the L144 and the albino's won't crossbreed. But what about the LDA08 ?

indeed, so I would like to know which will, so I can avoid it. (reason : I have large tanks, therefore I want to put more than one species in one tank)
