I suppose it wouldn't be possible to get a capture location, or at least an export country, by any chance?

Unfortunately, you have to log in to see those pictures, and I'm afraid that signing up to a norwegian forum isn't something I'll do to just look at a few pictures.

Any chance you can post the pictures here?

It looks very similar to , but assuming the colour-balance of the photo is correct (meaning it's not just white-yellow spots looking green due to bad white-balance of the camera or lighting conditions), then it's clearly not A. sp(3).

A search through the Cat-eLog didn't reveal anything, so it may well be a "unknown" species.

The Ancistrus in the pics is mine. And I am sure that this is the color of it's spots. It has the same color in real life as in the pics. There is no extra ligthnig when the pics were taken and it has not been "photoshoped" in any other way then making the pics smaler.

(Sorry if my english is bad it's not my main laugange.

Sure, I wasn't saying that it wasn't true colours - I just have to be careful, because there's been more than one "off colour" - and not necessarily with the intent to be dishonest, just simply due to the way the camera works with the light available (us humans have a pretty good "eye" to adjust colours automatically - cameras try, but don't always get it right...).

hehe.. i did not take you comment as that. Just wanted to say that it acually has this color.

But I know that this one on the photos is not wild caugt.

And it does not look anything like the one foffo linked to in the first post...
