	Ancistrus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ancistrus is a genus of freshwater fish in the family Loricariidae of order Siluriformes, the type species is Ancistrus cirrhosus
		Ancistrus species show all the typical features of the Loricariidae, distinctive features include lack of odontodes along the snout, evertable cheek odontodes with a curled end (not unlike the hooks in Velcro).
		An introduction to the bushy nose plecos of the genus Ancistrus.

	Ancistrus dolichopterus
		Ancistrus dolichopterus require larger, well filtered tanks, 60 cm can be considered the minimum size of a tank.
		Ancistrus dolichopterus is very suitable for the community tank, and as an algae eater also quite usefull.
		Some driftwood and/ or caves should be present in the tank for the fish to hide in, and the gravel in the tank should be round, to prevent injuries.

	A panoramic 50 liter tank3
		Along with the corys, in the same tank were a few juvenile Ancistrus dolichopterus (L144a) and I bought one (1) of them as well.
		I cannot say if this specimen is a male or a female, because at this age the “bushy noses” are not developed at all, but I am patient.
		My very young Ancistrus dolichopterus (L144a), measuring 2,5 cm, on the bottom of the fine 100% quartz substratum.

	Ancistrus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The names Ancistrus dolichopterus and Ancistrus temminckii, widely used, are almost certainly wrong the majority of the time.
		A huge problem is that the colour and patterning of my fish (like most Ancistrus) is so variable depending on conditions and their mood: from mustard-coloured to almost fl, bars, spots or plain and with or without white tips on the tail and dorsal.
		Although I can't be certain, I'm fairly sure that this was due to the hungry Ancistrus rasping away at algae growing on the sealant in the corner.

	Bristlenose pleco
		These are the bristle nosed catfishes, usually in the genus Ancistrus that have the face full of unbelievably ugly tentacles, making the fish look for the entire world like Medusa of the ancient Greek legends.
		As is the case with most plecos, the ill bristle nose catfishes are difficult to determine from one another.
		There are believed to be about fifty species of Ancistrus, with Ancistrus dolichopterus being the most common.

		Ancistrus dolichopterus (I think that’s the species that I have) males have more bristles than the females.

		That we had a success in breeding ancistrus dolichopterus came by accident.
		It is very important the filter-cleaning and change of water is NOT done at the same time and that the fresh water that comes into the tank has exactely the same temperature that the water in the tank has.
		Now they are 4 weeks old and already have the color and the form of the ancistrus dolichopterus.

		Ancistrus Dolichopterus is one of the three or four names that are commonly used in books to describe some specie of Ancistrus that is usually listed in the catfish section of the book.
		Dolichopterus, it's just some fish of Ancistrus genus that happens to be available to the author of the fish-book.
		Since there are about 50 different species of ancistrus, where almost all have dark brown body with lighter spots, they all look prety similar to someone who hasn't been studying this a lot.

	PlecoFanatics.com - Sexing Ancistrus dolichopterus
		I have a young Ancistrus dolichopterus in my aquarium and would like to provide him or her with a mate.
		I think it is a male, since it has small growths on top of the head in front of the eyes and no visible growths around the tip of the head, but I am not absolutely sure.
		Common Ancistrus males generally have no fear of developing their bristles, even if a small tank is full of them.

	Bristle-nose Catfish, Ancistrus cirrhosus, Ancistrus hoplgenys, Ancistrus ranunclus
		The Ancistrus or Bristle-nose Catfish prefer a darker aquarium with pieces of wood or roots to form caves and hiding places.
		The Ancistrus or Bristle-nose Catfish are found in th fast flowing tributaries of the Amazon River in South America.
		The Ancistrus or Bristle-nose Catfish generally get along well with other fish but may fight among themselves especially if two males are put together.

	ID Ancistrus hoplogenys - www.ezboard.com
		after looking on the planetcatfish site i have seen two other ancistrus spieces that are similar to the hoplogenys spieces.
		they both share the common name starlight bristlenose but have different speices name, one is listed as ancistrus dolichopterus and the other being ancistrus L182.
		There are probably as many 'variants' of dolichopterus (or white spotted fl Ancistrus) in the wild as there are seperate Ancistrus species.

	Bristlenose
		The Bristlenose Catfish was first described in 1854 by Kner as Ancistrus dolichopterus.
		One Ancistrus species that can be distinguished is Ancistrus hoplogenys (Peppermint Bristlenose).
		The tail and dorsal fin of the Peppermint Bristlenose are completely edged by a broad white band.

		No one has said for sure what species it is but my guess that it is probably either Ancistrus dolichopterus or Ancistrus temminckii.
		There is also a pretty albino Gibbiceps Pleco, pond raised in Florida that will grow eighteen inches in your aquarium or at least three feet long in Florida fish farm ponds.
		Our Albino Ancistrus grows between six and eight inches in length and is a rich yellow in colour.

	Ancistrus dolichopterus Kner, 1854
		In the original description it states that the species has 8-9 soft rays in the dorsal fin, as is the case in L 183.
		In the aquarium trade and literature, L 183 is mistakenly referred to as Ancistrus hoplogenys.
		Fishbase seem to show the wrong photo's for this species.

		The color ranges greatly depending on the individual, age, and area that the individual is found.
		SS: Snowflake Bristlenose (Ancistrus hoplogenys), Polka Dot Bristlenose (Ancistrus lineolataus), Temminck's Bristlenose (Ancistrus termmincki), Three-ray Bristlenose (Ancistrus triradiatus); and other Ancistrus species.
		The Clown Pleco is an easy fish to care for as long as there is enough algae for it to eat. A superb fish for a community tank.

		Special Note: Identifying Ancistrus without detailed morphological (structural) studies is extremely difficult.
		I am tentatively identifying this fish as Ancistrus temminckii because that is the most common bristlenose in the aquarium hobby.

		It is thought that the fish may use the bogwood in their diet, like fibre, by rasping at the wood, so always provide a piece of bogwood in the tank.
		There are over 50 species of Ancistrus catfish, some of which are difficult to distinguish from each other.
		Feeding: algae, flake food, squash, spinach A good algae eater, this should be supplemented with algae wafers, sinking pellets, green foods like lettuce and cucumber, etc. They will also consume most other foods missed by midwater dwelling fish.

		They are close relatives of many species of Plecostomus, Otocinclus, Loricaria, Farlowella, and any other type of these sucking catfish.
		Bristlenose belong to the genus Ancistrus, of which there are many closely related species.

		If you are looking for a small, relatively peaceful algae eater, look no further than the Bristlenose Catfish.
		The ancistrus also requires some bogwood or mopani wood in the tank and it will rasp away at it to obtain lignin, a substance that it requires to aid digestion.
		You will find that a lot of gravel cleaning is required under the usual resting place of your Bristlenose cat....
