Hi Ken!

It is one of these human made species...

Ancistrus sp(2)


They are rather orange when young and they gently put more browns on...

Cheers
Yann

Hi there,

I'm a newbie to this forum and haven't even introduced myself yet.

The link didn't work for me but try this one
http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/lo ... /275_f.php

I've never had much luck with this variety myself, some of the specialist shops occasionally stock it (very small youngsters) and they charge a hefty premium for it.

Regards,
Barry

bsfoord,

Yann didn't put the link in correctly. It was previously in at Ancistrus sp.(2) rather than
Ancistrus sp(2)
- note the extra dot. I've fixed the link above. However it's all a bit academic as I think the species was moved to
Ancistrus sp(3)
!

The way Yann posted the link (i.e. using the
bbcode is the better way of linking to species (as opposed to the URL you posted) because it will both generate a mouseover thumbnail (try hovering over the link) and also will persist even if the page behind it moves around in future).

Thought I'd point this out as you introduced yourself as a newbie and I'm just trying to share the knowledge.
