I assume you mean L177?. Not easy from a young age as juvenile L18 have rather large spots and deep color. Best wait till there around 4" where L18s spots appear not to grow with the fish and more appear, whilst L177 will retain large spots with color still deep and in instances even orange. L177 ...

This has occurred once before in a Hypancistrus that i am aware of in Australia, the fry was killed for obvious reason. It was on Plecofanatics so most of that info will be gone although i do believe i saved the photo.

Stunning

In other word's patience! Something i personally struggle with....

Yup, 66.

A dentition shot would help.

Just look at the caudal fin

The fish has characteristics of both family's Chaetostoma and Ancistrus.

Snubbed like head and large eye in comparison would suggest L201, given the options of the three loricariidae.
Although the fish has more a resemblance to a Parotocinclus specie.

I agree with matsp the Ancistrinae family is generally quite easy to sex without this method. My experience is that the much larger species are alot more pronounced in this area, and with that in mind its alot more simple. Simply said the genitals are U and V separating the sex's, i have not tried ...

Ok 1. Temp 26 2. 190L 3. 6 month 4. 25% once a week . 5. All water results fine. Just a rough idea guys, will be fine Many thanks 25% water change is not enough (with the assumption you have no plants) i do 40% on my 250ltr with 4 large (14-20cm) plecs in it. 190L tank? is in my opinion already too ...

Add them at the same time to disperse any aggression, as well as moving current territories around.

They take turns one at a time, the only time the two are present at once is in the initial trapping.

To make it clear i do not condone what your doing "but" to answer your question. In the first generation of the "X" you will receive only the dominant variation in which half young will be carriers of the recessive gene, unless in the rare instance you have two dominant genes fight in the main "X ...

Im using these, but i agree best to provide a variation and see what is taken too.

Very Nice

Ancistrus are not particularly picky although some may show preference.

Sorry to hear mate.

This may help

From those pics im leaning toward 3 Contradens amongst L201.

Hey could you give me a quote on a slate and granite cave with the following dimensions?
20cm long x 9cm width x 6cm tall Cheers Mate

L134 has a tendency towards protein ridden foods such as the animal life found in biofilm found on rocks.

Thanks silurus is there anyother charateristic noted that you know of?
The pattern of the newbies is more like an l333 as apposed to the l168s very clean lines.

I have accquired some of what i beleive to be 52 as my 168 are very cleanly barred and lack the extremety of odontodes as the newly accpuired ?52?. I have matched the hard and soft ray count as that of 52 in its profile but dont know what the l168s hard soft ray count is?
Any help appreciated.

Dose anyone know when the mergus atlas vol2 is to be released in english?
Thanks for any help

Has anyone got an image of a juvie L100 or 180 as neither appear to have an adolescent white seam as the Australian version carries this until 6cm?. The head on L180 carries the head of Ancistrus rannanculus nothing like the "Aus Pep" L183 would be the best in my opinion as all but the soft rays ...

Possibly S. Nigrita max size of 17cm most spp growth rates decrease as they near there maximum length
