Whats the name?

Post by Lihn »

Hello everybody

I seached at Ancistrus claro on Google and I found a very nice looking Ancistrus, I not immediatly would say was an Ancistrus claro. You can see the fish here: http://www.acuaristas.cl/fotos/laz/ancistrus.jpg

Had somebody seen the fish before and can somebody tell me a littlebit about the fish?
Regards
Jacob

Now I breed the following species: 12 Peckoltia compta - L134 and 10 Ancistrus L107/L184
I have earlier bred these plecos: L010a, Ancistrus sp., L183, L260, Hypancistrus contradens

Everything looks like an A. claro except for the color,it has the reticulated pattern and just the overall look of it, compare with some from this post http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... 80#p142780

Could be just the way the picture was taken and made it all whiteish...you can even see it in the eyes...would be a nice fish if these colors were natural but I do not believe it is.(natural color that is)

Thank you for your answers. Yes, it looks like an Ancitrus claro, but the colours is like Birger said, different. Maybe it was the camera it was taken with or the light as you say.
