Hey guys,

Thanks Josh

No one in Australia knows for sure if the Orange Spot Bristlenose we have here in AU is A. leucosticta, L110 or LDA45/L349 etc. Problem is no one knows where it came from (or even when it entered Australia though there have been guesses as to when it was first seen in fish shops). There are just too many differences in the fish here compared to those which are similar in Aqualog.

The ones I have bred look very similar to L110. They have approx 40-60 fry per batch and the fry are extremely hard to keep alive if your water quality isn't close to perfect.

They breed very similar to most Ancistrus. Cave spawners with a diet of 90%veg.

Try looking up some of those ones and see if it matches to finest details like barbles etc

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that, I had a look at those species and I don't think its them, but then again there are so many inconsistencies with what is called what amongst most keepers.
Its so frustrating as I'd really like to get another which is going to be hard when I don't know what they are called lol
