Ancistrus sp(7)

Post by Yann »

The picture of Jeff Raps in Ancistrus sp(7) dorsal view seems to be a Lasiancistrus sp.

The head look very similar, a bit too pointed to be a female Ancistrus, also the fin colouration does not fit to the other pictures presented for the species

Cheers

Yeah, I thought that it might be this one:

but I swithered and went with <i>Ancistrus</i>, going on head shape I think you might be right. Problem is however, I don't know what the pictured fish is! It's not <i>L. scolymus</i>, that was an old case of mistaken identity. I'll just stick it in <i>Lasiancistrus</i> for the time being!
