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
genera are relatively easy to breed where the female will deposit
her eggs in a confined space such as pipe work. |
