Not to knock you in anyway, but it might be hard to identify the little guy or girl with the pictures you have. Try and get a clearer picture that is closer up to the fish. I just want to help, I hope it does.

they are common bn, albeit a calico (as Jen said) or piebald variant.

they were called ancistrus sp3, now ancistrus cf cirrhosus, if you go by planetcatfish naming system as i do

edit - to answer your question about breeding, yes just the same as common bn, they are common bn

Ancistrus maracasae
http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/speci...species_id=1481

Or this a brownish common BN like this one.
Ancistrus triradiatus
http/www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/speci...pecies_id=883rl]

As stated on planet catfish

Fish sold as LDA16 in shops may well be Ancistrus sp(3) in the calico form. This note is correct on the date of writing in July 2008

As far as i know their Ancistrus temmincki or very simular.

 

[snowflake311]

Yeah it could be a LDA16

I found a photo of some and they look like they could be. Here is the link

When I do other searches for them it is in a different language.
