Hi guys,

I recently got a group of 5 l327 juveniles about 2" SL and have found it hard to find any information about them. I found a thread here about small ancistrus that seemed to group them with Ancistrus claro but their listed sizes are quite different. Other than that I haven't found anything of note and nothing on youtube which was surprising.

They seem to be doing well so far and I imagine like most ancistrus they're not too fussy but would appreciate any extra information I could get my hands on.

Thanks

They're odd little Ancistrus. I'm fairly certain the bristles in juveniles grow rapidly after ~6cm TL or so IIRC.
Males are awfully belligerent, but chase more than fight. They'll get about ~13cm TL for males, but stay around ~10cm TL more often than not.
Rather simple to keep; good eaters and not particularly difficult to spawn.
