Hi, will different species of Ancistrus Crossbreed? I'm not talking about just a brown with albino or super Red as they are all variants of A.Cirrhosus, but for instance can A.Cirrhosus cross with A.Hoplogenys or A.Claro etc??

From what I've read in the forums here, yes they do hybridize, although I can't speak specifically to claro and hoplogenys.

You can use the advanced forum search tool (here) to find older posts on the subject.

I am pretty sure they will. But why, are you trying to add to the hybrid craze?

Heres a shanes world article on ancistrus hybridisation. I personally conclude from this that potentially they can do so, and have.
