Panaque but whitch one?

[Tommi]

One guy at our local forum told he have fry from Panaque pair. I asked photos and he sent these to my email. Photos are not good but what you think?

[Suckermouth]

I'm skeptical those are Panaque fry. Are there any other loricariids with them? All the tiny Panaque I've seen (wild caught) actually look reasonably like Panaque with their characteristic proportions.

I too doubt they are Panaque fry. The 'adults' could be semi adult P. schaeferi?

[panaque]

The babies look like

Ancistrus

fry to me. Look at the shape of the tail fin for example.

[Tommi]

Thank you all for answers. I have not seen Panaque fry but I though those are super rare so I was suspicious from the start.

[The.Dark.One]

I agree that these look like Ancistrus fry

[jamos]

The Panaque looks like P. schaeferi. This is a very large panaque and there is no way it could have had fry at the current size.

What else is in the tank with them?

[wijnands]

They remind me a bit of my little A. Claro. Definitely Ancistrus I'd say.

If you look closely at the second picture, there is a fry stuck on the glass next to the Panaque. It clearly shows a mouth/ teeth of an Ancistrus
