Specimens
from the vicinity of Villavicencio, Colombia, are different from
individuals from Puerto Ayacucho in Venezuela. Imported alongside
Peckoltia
sp.
(L387) from
Bogotá, Colombia which it has a resembelance too but has
a duller colouration to the body. In some
publications this species has been placed in the Peckoltia
genus which are very similar but are shorter bodied and do not possess
a naked ventral region. Males of the Ancistomus/Hemiancistrus
clade have a longer and broader head with longer bristles behind
the gill cover and on the pectoral fin spine. They also have fine
odontodes on the scutes to the posterier of the body. Aquarium
Care: As with the Peckoltia species they are no
problem to keep and seem to be non-aggressive in a group of individuals.
Should be kept in warm and soft to medium hard waters. Diet:
Vegetarian with added tablet foods and fine to mediam sized live
and frozen foods such as mosquito larvae and brine shrimp. |
