I have been told either peppermint bristlenose or orange spot bristlenose ....

I think it is a young Ancistrus Hoplogenys... L059, it appears to have the rusty/reddish markings in the fins.

yes it does have red bits on its fins - thank you very much for your help Very Happy

I just picked up 5 for £5 - Bargain! Smile

If they are L059's it's a fantastic bargain cheers

come to think of it whatever they are it's a bargain.

I'm moving this topic to the I.D Labratory in case you wonder were it's gone. Very Happy

That sure is a stunning looking bn and great bargain indeed Good Job

Thanks everyone - ive looked through a lot of pictures of a few different types - and i am certain that this is an L059 - thanks for your help everyone Smile

No problem Laura, still can't believe you got tham at that price Shocked

hi, i think its ancistrus sp. ucayali

i had some bought as L59 looked identical to that but they turned out to be sp. ucayali.

i see people allover selling sp ucayali as true L59 but i think in reality genuine L59 are very very hard to find.

Could well be, did you notice straight away or did the difference become more apparent as they developed.

i noticed when they arrived but hoped i was wrong but they get much bigger than true 59's and the red fades greatly as they grow. so grow them out and thats a sure fire way to tell what they are Wink

Thank you

Reading your discussion on them really helps me out Smile

am i right in thinking ancistrus sp. ucayali dont have an L number?
So if i grow them out and the red fades they are ancistrus sp. ucayali and if it doesn't fade they are L059?

hi, yes they dont have an l number yet, they are known as ancistrus sp. ucalayli

thanks

Thanks Andrew ...
