Difference between common BN and Orange spot BN?

Post by Mango4Jade »

I was wondering what is the difference between the common BN and the orange spot BN. I dont seem to find a picture of the Orange spot BN, thus dont know the difference.

I did a google search for "Orange Spot Ancistrus", and came up with a million hits (well, 8730).

The more fruitful of those searches gave indications that the Orange Spot Bristlenose (or Bossy Pleco as one site calls it), would be one of:
L144a.
L110 No picture
L110 search for "Orange-spor" - no picture.


This site calls L110 "Red spot", but looking at the picture, it's clear how someone else might call it "orange".

There's not much data on L110, so it's not that much help...

It may of course still be that the "Orange Spot Bristlenose" that you talk of isn't any of the above species, in which case this information is even less useful.
