Just funny video of my 181 females conflict. They are 1-1,5 years old but hate each other from fry-time as well as 3 month s.red ancistrus )))

Sergey, sounds like a fun idea. I enjoyed the video too. I really wonder what gems people will drag out to see the light of day. Unfortunately, I do not have anything that would qualify.

Also, the subject title would not be indicative of what you are proposing to have here - it will reduce participation and visibility and may create confusion.

Does anybody know if there is an appropriate, already existing thread?

Ahh yes nature at its finest!

Im wondering thought in the vids you have between your bulldog and the 181 you call it a starlight. Are the 181 and 183 both called starlights?

Generally spiking there is no big difference between that species. If you like bright edges, better to find some golden nuggets than brake your brain with classification of ancistruses ))

There is a huge difference. The 183 has very clear white lines on the edges of it's top fins. I just don't think that the 181 is called a starlight that is reserved for the 183's. ;)

Almost any "black ancistrus with white spots" is called "stalight" or "starry night" pleco.

And the bright white edges on does get smaller with age.

But the 183 is the only Pleco that officially carries the starlight name?

Yes, officially. But shops, wholesalers, breeders and exporters will use the name (and L183) for anhy species that is a rough match...
