Ancisturus triradiatus

Post by jeff.l »

I have gotten the oppurtunity to acquire young wild caught ancostrus triradiatus. I forget their LDA number. I was wondering how am I go be certain that they are indeed triradiatus. I also wanted to confirm that these are a distinct species from the normal bristlenose plecos we so often see in the hobby. I will attempt to get some pictures of the stock.

Thanks

was scientifically described before L/LDA numbers.

I'm sure I read somewhere that they (uniquely) have a three rayed anal fin (hence the name)?
