Ancistrus sp. ID

Hi AQ, can help me ID this Ancistrus sp. ? Thanks.

Off the top of my head, looks a lot like Ancistrus temminckii. Hmm...

**Stuporman** · 20th Nov 2006, 13:01

This is Ancistrus triradiatus.

**Quixotic** · 20th Nov 2006, 13:07

Ah, just to show how much I suck at IDing.

Don't think it is available readily in Singapore...
Who has it?

**Quixotic** · 20th Nov 2006, 13:15

That's what I was about to ask next, if this is found commonly in trade in Singapore. Looks like the answer is no.

Another beautiful Ancistrus sp like this is the Ancistrus claro... LDA08... Also canont be found locally... More readily available in the US...

Yes, most likely a. triradiatus, but certainly a cooler water riverine species.
