Hi Yann,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm not sure of hoe old these Ancistrus are, but as they still are only 10cm I would say its definitly not A.Pirareta.
This photo was taken right after I put them in my tank, I don't think they are mature yet but I also dont think that they will get much bigger.
I will try to get a better picture of them and post again.

My Ancistrus sp Rio Paraguay would show red point coloration at a very young age...(~3cm)and even stress they were really distinctive

They look really too brownish to be that
Cheers

Not a very good photo but it shows more colour.
The first was taken with a flash within a minute after setteng them free.
I was mistaken when I said they are 10cm, more like 8cm now when I see them next to the corydoras sterbai.

The spots are really kind of orange/red so I do think it is the A.Sp rio Paraguay
