Looks like one of these:
Bristlenose Bristlenose catfish haven't got an L number, they usually just come under ancistrus sp. Hope that helps. |

You are obviously referring to the Starlight Bristlenose Catfish. 5teady, I believe was asking about the standard type.  Sorry 5teady if this was misleading, I was however referring to the type you had. They are beautiful! Are you planning on breeding them? |

No problem.

Yes they are mine, i got 5 of them altogether that are adults but 2 of them dont seem to be breeding, this trio are a definite breeding trio though. I also have another 5 smaller ones but are only about 2.5" in lengh. |

Good for you!
It always seems to take a few attempts to get a good batch when they breed. You'll be inundated before you know it! This post has been edited by stang1: Mar 23 2008, 12:16 AM |
