They have arrived!

Well I got another 5 plecos. I must say these ones are very nice. Here is the list of what came.
1-L90 papa
2-L66 king tigers
2-L183's
And also recieved a free pitbull pleco, and a L10 whiptail.

I'll get pics as soon as I can.

I've been wanting to setup an aquarium for trying a hand at the L183 and the L010a red lizards, but don't know where I'd put them.

 

[davo]

how big are they. any breeding sized hypancistrus? do you the sex on any?

 

[somthinsfishy]

I'd say give them all a month or so and I'll be able to tell.

 

[WyldFya]

Are they pretty small still?

 

[davo]

Ancistrus dolichopterus are my fav. ancistrus. hope you got a male and female of them too, or at least 2 females

 

[WyldFya]

Of ancistrus species, dolichopterus is definitely a fave.

 

[somthinsfishy]

The ancistris are still small 2.5". The papa is about 4". The kings are 3.5". The whiptail is 4". and the bulldog is 2.5". The ancistris both have little bristles already, if that's any indication.

 

[WyldFya]

Depends on if it is a bristle nose or a bushy nose. Bushy's they are males, bristles, TBD.

 

[davo]

Males get bristles all over the head (in front of the eyes) and its margin.
Females don't get them or only few on the margin. they take a bit longer to sexually mature than some of the other ancistrus sp. they also like really soft blackwater conditions
