How do I know if my bristlenoses are Ancistrus cf. cirrhosus or Ancistrus tamboensis?
From the pics on planetcatfish they do look more like Ancistrus tamboensis...

Colouration is quite distinct in the latter, looks more marbled than spotty if i remember correctly., either way you probably have a cirrhosus

Get a picture up, im sure someone will be able to ID correctly for you.
