i have collected in Uruguay 6 different trips, many times up to 20 different spots, not just a mile away, but often many hours away, so i have covered alot of the country fishing. there are Ancistrus all over the country in each body of water, rivers, streams, ponds and different parameters. there ...

I go to Uruguay twice a year when i can.
I have a pair of Ancistrus from there, no spawning as of yet.
my last day there we caught 87!

i'll be on the lookout for these!!
thanks CivicR, keep them coming!!!

its not about being relevant or current. I know that more information can be found on the web. my interest is simply for my library collection of this fish.

I'm just wondering if anyone can list a couple of books and magazines that zebra pleco have appeared in, be it a full write up, huge cover pic, or even a small article.
I heard that Practical fishkeeping has a couple, but i don't know which issues.
thanks
