[oscars r ace]

hi all

Just bought a wild honeycomb bristlenose from lfs, about 3 inch. the lfs said it is a new spiecies that has been found, how true that is i don't know, i'l get a pic up when i can but he's being shy atm. does anyone know anything about them?

I think they need slighty warmer water than normal brislenose

im trying, but he's still quite shy and there are lots of plants in the tank, if i can't get one of him today, i will take a pic of one in the lfs, they have a tank full of them.

Very nice plec m8 but I think its a L37 Hypostomus faveolus..... As far as im aware there is no honeycomb BN ??

I agree with Jen on this one, does look like an L037.

ok, thanks for that, i'll read up on that one. is it still a bristlenose? thats what it was sold to me as, i hope it doesn't get too big, it's in my small tank, do you know how big they grow?
