Since LDA08 is [grumble - why can't people use the scientific names?], it should breed at slightly smaller size than the common bristlenose . Since the latter breeds at around 2", I should think that Ancistrus claro will too.

He'll definitely spawn at 2". I don't know that my breeding colony is even 2" SL after 3 years ;). Good luck with them! I just really love these little guys and they're definitely usually in demand. Keep in mind they have smaller spawns than what you'll be getting with larger types of Ancistrus though.
