wazza Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Jay,Try having a look on Planet Catfish.com they have some information on them and a number of pictures.wazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[-fireStorm-] Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Planetcatfish has no pics of Ancistrus "leucostictus" at this time. The A. "leucostictus" in Australia is not the real A. leucostictus. I think ours are still classified as L-157...not too sure, the old Aqualog is full of mistakes, and mislabels which don't match the DATZ publication. All i know is our orange-spot bristlenose doesn't match the A. leucostictus type locality or original description.Somebody post some pics! -shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 G'day ShaunI am really interested to work out exactly what we have that we are calling the Ancistrus "leucostictus".I just had a peek at the pic provided by Planet Cat and the pic (if accurate) is deffinitely not what we have here in Australia. My "leucostictus" (?) never looked like this pic at any stage of their development. Also the description given for the L043 is not correct either as the fish are brown Hmmmm : So the plot thickens. What do we actually have here? What location are these guys from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urodacus Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Ill get some pics of mine when i get my digi cam back, if i can get them to stay still long enough :rolleyes: CheersJordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 G'day JayThere is a bit of debate about what this fish actually is.I believed that it was L043, however this may infact be incorrect?There is a thread in the catfish forum on this very topic. Keep an eye on it and hopefully we will get closer to solving the mystery.Oh and yes they are available, but not in big numbers.Please reply with an email address and I will pass it on to someone that may be able to get some for you.

Matthew Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 G'day I wish I had a decent camera, I would happily post up some pics.Oh well I will just have to wait for someone to come up and visit with a camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Ooops Sorry Jay I didn't realise that it was you that started the other thread. :o Anyway at least you have a few replies over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazza Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Shouldnt this be in the Catfish Forum? There is another topic on Orange Spot BN in there as well that may be of some help.wazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Wow now we are confusing forums as well as species Maybe we should refer the the three catfish forums on Auastalian boards as "Cat Corner " (here), Oz-Cat (Qld Cichlids), and "Auscat" (Pert Cichlids) just to stop confusion ?????Orange spot / Red spot Ancistrus L110 or L157 same fish !!!!!!!! http://www.l-welse.com/forum/index.php?act...&CODE=03&ID=161Planet catfish...... http://www.planetcatfish.com/core/index.htm Ancistrus sp (L110) Red spot bristnose is pretty much spot on with those in my tanks.pretty much the same as Aqua Log illustrates.Alan.

oshuyi Posted November 25, 2003 Author Share Posted November 25, 2003 hey everyone, thanks for all the informations. still a bit confuse on which one it is but i know alot more about it now.jayguildfordechocomeback@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 G'day AlanI am sorry but I don't have a pic of my fish at this stage, however I will describe these guys as best I can. They are a mid brown colour with almost white, tiny, spots all over the body. Like a peppermint. The male would be just over 15 cm long.Does that make the ID any clearer? : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Hello guys What are OSBN catfish worth at 3cm...the look pretty intresting.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazza Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 If they are not leucostica why do the shops sell them as that? : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Hi Beagly Ooops Mathew,Nah, not like mine at all. I'm looking at a dark tan/mid brown fish with polker dots.The planet catfish illustration under thier "common name" index for L110 is it.Does your fish look like this one......http://www.zierfisch-ratgeber.de/art186.htmor this one .... http://www.transfish.de/LCode/L059.jpg ........ niether of which look like mine in any way but bothe have been tagged A leucosticta / orange spot/redspot in Germany!!!Seems they are just as confused over there as we are hereAlan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 G'day AlanUnfortunately, those fish don't look like mine. I hope to get some pics of them shortly and I will post them.Bugger I was so sure you would be able to ID them for me. Anyway the pics I'm sure will assist. (what do they say, worth a thousand words)Thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[-fireStorm-] Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Alan,i've actually never looked at L-110 as a likely candidate for our A. "leucostictus". Thanks! That was very informative.That second pic in the link above, (from the German site?) is Ancistrus sp. (L059).http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/loric...istru/837_f.htm-Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 G'day Alan and Crash (and everyone else for that matter)When they were younger they looked like the fish that appears in the 3rd edn. Baensch aquarium atlas. Page 364 - A. leucostictus As adults the brown colour is now over the fishes body as are the tiny white dots. My fish are kept in a white/pale tank so this may also effect the colour of the fish. Others that I have seen have been a more darker brown colour.Does this help or are things getting worse? : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Yep, your right there Shaun, just that that one is besold as Orange spot Pleco by a LFS in GermanyThe confusion grows !!!!!!! That is bloody common names for youAlan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link2Hell Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Here are some links to pics of my fishthese ones are 2 off 7-9cm size fish and Juv one is 4-5cm sizeLeuco picsI'll try and take some more when the camera battery is charged L2H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 G'day Alan, Crash and Link (and everyone else)The first day I had a look at the fish they were a little stressed (in a bucket, changing their residence), probably why they were a uniform brown.However today upon closer inspection, the fish do in fact have a two tone brown and appear just like the ones in the Baensch Aquarium Atlas 3rd edn. Page 364 - A. leucostictus.Incidently I believe they are the same bloodline as what Link has posted up the pics of. If you look closely there is a two tone brown present, as well as the white spots of course.So any more thoughts on what they are, as planet cat doesn't have any pics up on L043 :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
