i have a couple of question to the ancistrus breeders out there.
#1 i have 10 ancistrus albino vailtail busynose pleco in a 40gal.breeder square tank and want to know if i can leave all of them in there without the fry getting eaten or is it better to put a trio in a 20 gal.tank?..........

#2 is the ancistrus vailtail busynose pleco harder to breed than regular albino ancistrus?...

#3 can i put a trio in a 10gal tank?...

any answer will be great.

There was good information in there, along with the prejudice, both for and against the type of cat's you're asking about.

hey guys.
I read that whole long thread... took a long time =)
Im verry happy that this is THE best forum for catfishes, and this thread has proved it. No name calling and other nasty stuff. High quality discutions instead... creds to all who participated.

Now back to the topic...
Before this post i havent even heard nor seen any longfined ancistrus, can anyone post a picture of one ?
(its hard to make a "stand" when you dont know what the fuss is about)

thanx !

From the color pattern, it is clear that these are (or were) Ancistrus triradiatus.
