Probably a stupid question but I'll ask it anyway... I know several varieties of Ancistrus will cross breed. (Calico/super red/albinos). My question is, will Green Dragons coss breed with the red marble longfins that I have? Thanks for answering dumb questions!

As far as i am aware , all the varieties you list are forms of the same species, so they will breed together.

Including the green dragons? I was not sure if these were a different species line from the others

Yes they will all cross with eachother.

Please explain... What is a "Green Dragon"..?????? Yes I know, an Ancistrus species but which one?

i have the same question......

Here is a few pics of them. I've always seen them called Ancistrus Sp. Green Dragon. Don't know if they are just a different strain of the reg bristlenose and would cross breed with calicos and super reds or they are a dif species. Seems that the consensus is that they will

These pics look a different sp to the ones I've seen previously called 'green dragon' . This looks like a different species

Well those pics are of juveniles. They darken up a bit and the white on the tail and dorsal fades a bit as they mature.

Here are pics of an adult pair

The first pics of a spotted Ancistrus look like or something similar. That's to say a species. Green dragons look like the unspotted fish above. AFAIK, they're further artificial hybrid colour sports. They are also available in veiltail...

I did not purchase from there, just using the stock photo as I am considering purchasing some greens

This is a pic of the exact ones I'm considering. They have the light discoloration on the tail and dorsal it appears. I know it's hard because they are so young, but do these seem like true green dragons to you?
