Different bristlenose species

[waterwatereverywhere]

There's not much choice of BNs round here, so I'm planning to order some from Trimar, as I've heard such good reports of them. At the moment they've got quite a few in stock and I'm trying to make my mind up:

A. claro (LDA08) - looks a lovely fish, and doesn't get as big as the others either.
A. sp cucata - don't know anything about this one.
A. ranunculus (L34) - looks stunning but I've read they're harder to keep?
A. tamboensis - can't find much info on these.
"Gold ancistrus" - the shop thinks they're A. termenckii (spelling?) and they say they've got great colour.

If anyone's got any experience with any of these then I'd love to hear! Thanks

At of those I would go for A. claro for looks or A. tamboensis for rarity and resonable looks. You may also want to try L183 Ancistrus dolichopterus or Starlight Bristlenose great fish and certainly my favourite.

Thanks - out of the ones on offer there I was tending towards A. claro as well. Hopefully they'll still have some in stock!
