I do not think it is A. triradiatus, but I do not know what sp. it is either. It is very difficult, especially without knowing where the fish was collected, to identify Ancistrus to the sp. leve.

On a side note, your pictures would definitely be competitive in the photo contest that's detailed in the site announcements forum :lol: *shameless plug off*

Limpingfish,

If you're looking for information then look up Ancistrus sp(3). This is basically a "melting pot" of possibly more than one species, maybe even hybrids as this genus is known to hybridize and is easy to spawn.

As previously said, they are horribly difficult to ID.
