I'm not a loricariid person, but I'd be surprised if this was an Ancistrus.

Juan,

I just don't think it's possible to say what this Ancistrus is unless you know where it came from in the wild and even then it is not certain that we can ID it.

Just as an aside, why does the old post state your location as Panama and you this one doesn't?

Anyway, I would be very interested in pictures of Ancistrus (or indeed any catfish) you collect yourself. Always good to add them into the cat-elog.

Cheers,

Jools

yes you are right in this point, i will not call them ancistrus until we make sure what loricarid they are.

I will ask again to the man who ssales me this loricarids, the last time he said to me , that it cames from a distributors of PerÃº.

No, I think they ARE Ancistrus just can't be sure of the species.

Sorry, I meant in your profile not in the message post itself. Anyway, I see it is now there which is very helpful.
