Pics Of My Wild Caught Ancistrus L182

[jollysue]

I suppose they aren't the best pics, but I am proud of my new pair anyway:

They are a pair and the fells has started his bristles. They are at the moment in my 100 usg community tank on clean up duty. In time I will want to put them in a set up for breeding.

I can never chose the pics so I just throw everything at you--bad, worse, and worst.

Nice pics
Are L182 the variety that can get to 9". sure I read that somewhere. Where as L183 dont get any bigger that 6".. Maybe Russ can clear that up for us

 

[jollysue]

I don't think so. They are BN.

If they did get to 8" they are in 100 usg., but the source gave them as reaching average BN size: 4.5-6"

L-183's get to 3.9", L-182's can get to 9.8" but a 100g should be able to hold them.

There are several fat mamas there. I have never seen babies. I was surprised to see her joining in the festivities. lol

Thanks, Teelie and littleme for the info. I tried to find them on Planetcatfish but was unsuccessful. Thanks.

That ADF was diving up and down in and out of the fray. It was after lights out. A regular party. I didn't get any shots really that good, there was quite a gathering.

Here are three more. two with ADF, one w/o.

Lazy fellow, I told him to stay busy on that algae if he didn't want me in there with my new scraper.

They best behave or they may find themselves acclimating to a frontie tank!

Thanks all for looking and for the kind words. I actually think they are quite handsome. I am a little disapointed that they will get so big, but I can handle it.

Nice to read you, Studz

Gorgeous L182's you have there Sue. Hope they give you plenty little L182's. I love your fuzzy faced male. Very handsome.

 

[jollysue]

HEHE

Thanks, AlexAndCarmen

I am not seeing her out as much as him. I hope she's alright.

I really don't understand, I have 10 new BN. And they are all ignoring the Zucchini. The little LF albinos are after the wafers as are the LF marbles.
