Ancistrus ID

Post by Rene MG »

Hello everyone
A colleague bought this Ancistrus sp. named as “Ancistrus hoplogenys (L059)”.. For my there is no doubt. However, other colleagues disagree with that… [-(

Is an Ancistrus hoplogenys ( L059) ?

Also we have already red the Shane’s article about "The White Seam Bristlenoses" http://www.planetcatfish.com/shanesworl ... cle_id=380

Here is the guy:

Thanks Rene and I am sorry we never had a chance to meet up. I'll stop by planetacuario.

I have to keep my Spanish up as my daughter is a chilanga (she was born when we lived in DF) and it would be a shame for her not to grow up to the beautiful sound of español.
