ID my Cory and my Ancistrus Please

Post by diburning »

I picked up this cory at my LFS today in their "assorted cory" tank (they usually only get C. aeneus and brochis splendens for assorted)

Well, I have no idea what it is so please ID it for me.

I also picked up this Ancistrus in a tank being sold as L146A Chaetostoma sp. I never kept Ancistrus before, but I thought it was a little weird how this guy has bristles on his lip rather than on his snout.
