Captured in the Crique
Petit Laussat, a stream in French Guiana by the image contributor.
This could be an undescribed species.
Similar looking to Ancistrus
temminckii from Suriname.
Aquarium Care: As with most of this genus it will do
well in an aquarium where it will wipe out any algae. Diet:
Feed vegetable foods such as lettuce, cucumber and courgette
(zucchini). Will eat most aquarium fare. Breeding:
The Ancistrus geners are relatively easy to breed where
the female will deposit her eggs in a confined space such as
pipe work. |
