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.
