My first Ancistrus leucostictus, is nice
Asked in the pet store for a Pleco that will not grow that big, and they advised this one. Cool looking fish. White spots. Sucks itself on every object to search for algae.

Yes I agree. Although the photo is not clear, I also suspect . is rarely if ever imported, at least not in my area.
No matter the identity, it is a neat fish you have.

My was labeled as in the store. My were labeled as , and the week before the store had stocked some sort of loach in that tank, apparently because one of the new guys thought they were otos. My glass catfish were, of course, still labeled and were sitting in a tank next to some supposed . My Farlowella was labeled as just that - no species name attempt at all.StickyToe81 wrote: 03 Jan 2018, 20:06Look's like you are right. This latin name was printed on my receipt though.
My favorite mislabeling is the Pimelodella species that was labeled as a . When I asked the LFS about this they said, "Yeah, we don't get these Pimelodella in often enough to have a price tag for them. And since the care conditions are pretty similar, and the price is the same, we just use the pictus tag. If you ask we tell you they aren't really pictus, though."
