Id, Ancistrus sp. "xingu"

Oscar · Post by **Oscar** » 28 Dec 2005, 22:26

With some Spectracanthicus sp. (L254) and some Parancistrus sp. (L030), have arrived at LFS two Ancistrus sp. without l-number or species name. Any idea?

Probably L100?

the second

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Do you think you can call your LFS and find out what river they come from

Here my LFS got a list of where each species are actually caught, maybe your lfs have the same...

That would be a great help...

In Norway i often find L-183, sold as L59....so getting the name of the river might help

First is very similar to L100:

(and L100 is from XingÃº river)

The second fish is perhaps not from the right place, but how about ?

the flat shape resembles much more Lasiancistrus than Ancistrus and is very similar to L332... Oscar, maybe from river Guama this fish?

The pectoral fin spines are very long too for Ancistrus.

Yes, but, this fish looks like a bit lower and strait.

I think it's the correct Id. These fish arrive at LFS with bad health, and I can't take more pics or see them again.

Maybe

. In the same week arrived from Brasil more fish, L236, L287, L333, .....
