bristlenose id

here are some photos. if i need better ones, i will try.
the male is between 3 and 4" and has spots like the females, but barely noticeable.
they are very good at cleaning my tanks and love cucumber, squash, zucchini, and even peas.
i have had them breed easily multiple times.
i just want to know what they are. i got them from a breeder, but failed to ask what they were at the time.
thanks, allen

Common bristle noses

Have you had any albino fry from them? That's always possible :/)

no albino yet. they have had upwards of 200+ babies all together.
what is the L number for these?

 

[SmithRC]

It's been a while but I think as they have been 'discribed' they don't have an L-number.

I don't believe they are common I seen other bn from the US you guys have other colour variations

Definitely Commons.
No L#. Never really given one possibly because it was in the hobby prior to the L# system. It hasn't been officially described but thought to be Ancistrus cf. cirrhosus.
