Nice pictures. We don't have many pictures in the Cat-eLog, so if you wouldn't mind sending them to Jools (and me, if you like) for inclusion in the Cat-eLog.

done

Images added!

Also a small update on the coloration of the dots which will take awhile to go through.

Yet another really nice Ancistrus!!!

Looking at them live, does the lighter background color also have the blue color or only the spots?

Birger

hey birger,

the spots are metallic sky blue mostly (the odd few look white) but the main body of the fish is dark blue, almost black id say when settled and happy... but if disturbed or stressed it goes a slate blue colour.

best wishes,

andrew
