The quick find topic

[kadon]

hello i need help for identificate my bristlenosses, they are ancistrus full red and ancistrus full red long fines, males have bristles and eyes are common black. In spain nobody knows about loricaryds, maybe other hobbysts can give me more information about my specimens (procedence river, listed in l or lda?, link FAQ in this page about them?). thank you!

cf. Literally means "confer." An animal appears similar to an identified species, but without certainty or confirmation.

If you are referring to your reds, they are a selectively bred tank strain, not a wild type fish, so no location.
