Information: |
According
to Muller (1999), L 183 is the "true" Ancistrus
dolichopterus. In the original description
it states that the species has 8-9 soft rays in the dorsal fin,
as is the case in L 183. In the
aquarium trade and literature, L 183 is mistakenly referred
to as Ancistrus hoplogenys. Fishbase seem
to show the wrong photo's for this species. |
