Re: Pleco Identification

Male has been staking out caves, been kicking my L240 out of his cave, so I added lots more for them to pick from, and since he's staked claim to the smallest one and the female has also begun showing interest in him in the cave. 20230127_181253.jpg 20230127_164457.jpg 20230127_011954.jpg Photo of h...

My pH is too high to keep them unless I went with RO, so won't risk them, but really cool to know! Thanks!

Glass cat with stripes

Labeled as K. Birrchiris (might be spelling wrong), but I don't think that's right.

It's for sale but no clue what they are, but not likely to buy, just curious.

Alright, digging this up, as they've been doing great. Probably my favorite ancistrus by far.

Is their eye issue to blame for their dark pigmentation? Cheers, Eric I am unsure of how much vision they really have, they don't seem responsive to a lot, but do seem to register some light and shadow, and I've got dark substrate so all of the fish are dark.

Cf Cirrhosis Fry

My ancistrus cf cirrhosis have spawned twice. First was with both my red calico, but the male passed away due to a heat wave shortly after. All fry from this are red calico, mostly longfins. Very cute. Since we lost their beloved father, we are keeping this one shown below. Special little one. 20221...

It's the worst hahaha he does it almost every day, then when you go close to the tank he waddles himself back into the cave.
Here is a gif of it, hopefully it works. Have to click it

My l240 plays dead. He sleeps on his back in his log and gives me a heart attack nearly every time he does it.

Re: Cf. Cirrhosis ?

The male continues to be evasive, but the female is very happy to come out and about.
Theyre small, smaller than I'd expect. They're at least a year old and the female is smaller than my corydoras eques.

Just want to confirm that these are Ancistrus cf Cirrhosis and not one of the other obscure brown coloured Ancistrus. The male isn't super cooperative, so I will get better photos later if needed.

Dorsal isn't black to the tip, I'd say ambiacus.

Judging on his eye here, he might be blind or near blind. But should get around and feed just fine.

Could be a hybrid with that?

They think a hybrid but aren't sure.
