Re: What Ancistrus is this guy??

I do indeed know who Ingo Seidel is, I didn't realize that he's the one who says the "fake" L144 is not the same as the L144 identified in DATZ. When someone first pointed out to me the other day that planetcatfish was changing the ID of our L144's, I needed to understand what was going on. As I ...

Re: What Ancistrus is this guy??

Having never seen a Datz publication, I am just trying to understand who identified this fish in that publication. Obviously it's not a person named Datz....my bad assumption. :)

So much information missing on both fish....if indeed there really are 2 separate fish....I suspect we will never learn ...

Re: What Ancistrus is this guy??

Thanks Mat for you patient answers. Still, it is only a guess where the "fake" L144 came from, there is nothing to say anything about it one way or another.

If anyone has the Datz description on the L144 verbatum from his book, I would very much appreciate knowing what is printed.

And the answer ...

Re: What Ancistrus is this guy??

Where did the photo of the "true" fish come from? And the date of that photo?
Has there been DNA analysis done on other ancistrus species to see if they are also close to the common brown ancistrus? If what is today commonly called the L144 not what Datz wrote about, why does his description say ...

Re: What Ancistrus is this guy??

Mat do you know if there is a full description of this fish in the Datz book? Does he include any pictures?
And can someone provide that for me to read?

I know this argument has been ongoing for a very long time. There is proof of the L144 that we commonly call the L144 today. I am very interested ...

Re: What Ancistrus is this guy??

I breed the long fin L144 (what has commonly been accepted as such), the small yellow non-spotted variety. I can find documents and pictures from Europe back to 2002 of this exact L144 fish being bred. Can someone point me to the documented information on the true, rare L144 and it's pictures with ...
