Relevant Information: This species is a mutation of a dark coloured form from Paraguay of which the identity was not known. The strain was fixed by the crossing of this species and the normal coloured Ancistrus sp. Only one wild caught specimen of L144 was ever imported and all offspring was from this male. This species has black eyes which is a a melanistic form whilst Ancistrus sp "albino" has red. Remarks: This species is said to be not the true L144, but a cultivated form and would probably be labeled as Ancistrus sp. 'yellow'. We have listed it here until we have more information.
