Ancistrus spec. L 352

Our photo shows a pair of Ancistrus spec. L 352, one with 6 – 7 cm very small remaining loricariid from the Rio Iriri. In the view from above the different body forms can easily be be recognized. This and the characteristic beard of the males makes a differentiating of the sexes quite easy. As the high L number rightfully let assume, they were imported for the first time only a few years ago and until now only rarely traded.(Photo F. Schäfer, Text K. Diehl)
