Yes i think they´re hasemani.

Your fish looks the same as mines.

I think I have them misidentified on the cat e log, so maybe hasemani?

I had to sell them because I was moving to a new home and didn´t knew when it was possible setting up a new aquarium.
And yes Birger, they are a very interesting and attractive species to keep in a Tanganyika community tank.

Some old pictures of my group.
I miss them a lot!

this albino male is undergoing a process of "repigmentation" in some parts of his body.
His father was albino and also had a similar process.
Has anyone seen anything like this in one of its Ancistrus ?

Acanthicus, The fish were bought in a store whose provider may bring them from the Czech Republic.
Shane, I thought about that species, but I had doubts.
The color made ​​me a bit clueless, specially the ventral pattern: on my fish it´s totally white.
I´ll try to take a picture of the belly (it´s ...

Nobody can help me to identify them?

Thanks Mats.
This individual is temporarily in my tank.

A friend of mine is moving, so he gave me some of his cats.
I want to identify this Ancistrus. It resembles hoplogenys to me. What do you think?

the only difference is that vestitus lacks lateral line canal pores on the posterior half of the body
I will try to take a macro pic, maybe this way would be possible to see the pores...
There is no described species of Otocinclus which is supposed to have the pigmentation of the fish in the ...

O. vittatus should have a clear vertical black bar at the base of the caudal fin

You mean the vertical bar in the middle of the tail or at the base?

I think they are l-129

but I think the other is neither O. mariae or O. macrospilus.

Then?

Yesterday I`ve purchased four Otocinclus in a local shop. I think three of them are the same species, but the 4th i think it´s a O. vittatus, because of the different tail patern.

Here´s the "vittatus".

Thanks guys!, so my suspects were right.

I´ve got 4 individuals, and I think they´re L-129, but they could be L-270...
The salesman told me that they were sent from Colombia.
Thanks!
