Hello

[longplay]

Hello everybody, I am new here. I'm from Croatia and i love catfishes.
I have hypostmus plecostomus, ancistrus dolichopterus (4 adults and around 250 baby ancistrus - 1-3 month old), peckolti vittata etc..
Just to say hello before i start browsing this site.
P.S. If i make some mistakes, sorry... English is not my domestic languge..

Welcome to the site. Don't worry about your English, there are some who speak native English that aren't trying half as hard.

Nice pictures too!

Not sure if I should do this now that you've just joined, but I'm sorry to tell you that your A. dolichopterus is not that. It looks to be

Ancistrus cf_cirrhosus

aka Common Bristlenose.

No problem. I can just say, thank you if it's like that.
There is one more picture of male so, maybe you can see better. And young ones, too.
Anyhow, thank you.

Seems like you have mastered the first grade of breeding!

I'm beginning to think it's not the common bristlenose, but it's got some of it's characters. I'm still 99.9% sure that it's not A. dolichopterus - they are inky black with tiny spots - but the most telling is their number of rays (spines) in the dorsal (back) fin, which should be more than 10 (usually 12), and all other Ancistrus have no more than 9.

Than you, again. I will count it.
Yes, there is 9 of them.

Hi Longplay and welcome
The babies are sweet!
Is that a cory cat in the last picture? Maybe

Corydoras paleatus

? Good pictures.

[longplay]

Thanks everybody.
L number banana, yes, that's corydoras paleatus, female. I have a male too. And two of bunocephalus knerii, but it's not easy to take a picture of them.
