Thought
to be the original Hypancistrus inspector (which is L 102)
as shown in Aqualog and Datz as L 201 but now named by Armbruster,
Lujan & Taphorn in 2007 as Hypancistrus contradens
along with three other species, H. debilittera, (L 129)
H. furunculus (L 199) and H.lunaorum (L
339). Can be confused with H. lunaorum and H. inspector.
This species was first introduced in
the DATZ magazine, Sept.1995 issue as L201. H. contradens
has white or pink large spots that do not connect to form bands. Diet:
Like all Hypancistrus sp. they prefer
a meaty diet. Feed frozen foods such as bloodworm and beef heart,
live foods such as brine shrimp, white and grindal worms and prepared
foods such as sinking tablets and presoaked flake food. |
