This genera is similar
to the Ancistrus in appearance. They possess three stout
odonodes concealed beneath the gill covers which act as a defense
mechanism. Aquarium care: Likes a current in
the aquarium and are peaceful habitants. Likes a higher temperature
and need frequent water changes to keep them in good health. Sexual
differences: Males posses a broad head region and more
prominent bristling on the edge of the snout. Diet:
Omnivore; veg foods such as lettuce, spinach, cucumber and veg.
tablets. Live and frozen foods such as Cyclops, Daphnia and brine
shrimp. Remarks: The L-number of L017 was originally
given to a Pseudancistrus sp. with the same colouring
of yellow in the tail fin from the same river system but was later
given the L-number of L067, and this Hopliancistrus species
(which didn't have an L-number at the time) was given the the
L-number 17.
