Hi all,


Recently i bought an L-014

-Scobinancistrus aureatus

and would just like to share some photos of it now that it has been in the aquarium for about a week.



Thanks for viewing

Possibilities i think so far:

Ancistrus sp. (L359)

Ancistrus leucostictus

Ancistrus sp(2)

There are a number of threads here on 'pinspot' ancistrus. And even more species. Please check out the forums. Also some more clear photos of dorsal and ventral would help.


Ill try to upload a better photo with the pleco displaying better here soon. Thanks for the information though, i will ...

Thank you for the confirmation. More what I was leaning towards as well

Im thinking L-106 or L-047.
This little guys was sold as an L-114 but i really do not think that is his true identification.

Please help. Thank you!!!!
