LDA08 - Claro

Managed to take a couple more pics, had to use digital zoom on most though, so the quality isn't that great. I'll have to get another camera to get the colors more 'true'. Funny to see the trio all together in a pic though :)

One of them is clearly a bit darker in its markings, (and the common ...

LDA08 - Claro

Store owner told me these were bred in Germany, near the border with Poland. Apparently this shop is the only one in Holland that has them, hence my surprise about the price; a mere €10 a piece. (my only guess is that most aquarists are happy with the cheapest common ancistrus?)
Ofcourse I would ...

LDA08 - Claro

Purchased 3 of them, one 'seems to be' male, the other two female. Not very sure yet but there's only one with a bit of bristling on his nose and happens to be the largest of the three aswell.
Not sure if the picture shows it but it definitely has the oval shaped mouth, and white/yellow marbling ...

LDA08 - Claro

Fingers crossed! Hope to get some on Monday of they have managed to reserve some for me.
I'll take a good look, and make a half decent guess at a male and a couple of females.
They'll have to share caves with my
Apistogramma, but I'll definitely add some more caves to hopefully accommodate both ...

Re: LDA08 - Claro

Zeno beat me to my mail reply but yep; thats where I found them.

Currently 7 on stock, I'll be picking some up on monday. Probably just 3, maybe 4. I haven't actually seen them yet, but they are around 4 cms, maybe that makes them sexable?
I wouldn't mind breeding them but I don't think I have the ...

LDA08 - Claro

Managed to find some of these (waiting for a reply from the LFS that is supposed to have them) and thinking of buying some.

Any advice on what to look for in new catfish? I don't have much experience with these fish, always thought they were all going to outgrow my tanks but that makes Claro all ...

What are they selling as Ancistrus leucostictus?

Recently got a small one, labeled leucostictus. Doesn't really look like any picture I've found, suppose its a similar story.
I'll take a look at more pictures to figure out what mine 'sort of' is.
