I wonder if any classification of Ancistrus "SuperRed" had been done.
As far I know, there are two kind of reds: a) when reach adulthood colour turns into more brownish b) remains red once grown-up
I am interested in the latter, so any information would be highly appreciated.

As far as I know Super Reds are are classed under Ancistrus cf. cirrhosus and are just thought of as a variant as are Albinos', Calicos' and longfin variations. There has been no classification of the various types of Albinos' which have more variants than the Reds.
There are some German sites that class them Ancistrus sp. "Super-Red" like this one HERE. But none mention variations of colour.
