Description:

Kind/kind: Ancistrus frame “L 144”
Origin: Paraguay
Presented: DATZ 10/1993
Size: approx. 12 - 15 cm
Water equivalents:
T: 24-30°C
pH: 5,5 - 7,5
KH: 0-5
GH: 0-20
Recommended basin size: starting from 60 cm
Sex differences: Male with Tentakeln on the head, longer Interopercularodontoden and more Odontoden on the first chest fin jet; Female usually somewhat smaller and “more fülliger”.
Social behavior: Calm, well compatible kind.
Attitude: Attitude guidances for Ancistrus to write would be somewhat idle, it are present like sand at the sea. In few references: To basin - change regularly water - wood - suitable caves - water equivalents see above - good filtering and possibly ventilation. Thus one cannot make actually much wrong. For each male a district of at least 30 x should be present 30 centimeters around a Tonrölhre, otherwise it comes too partly deadly running fights.
Breed: The offspring is not to be prevented under given conditions. If necessary also simply under or behind filters one abgelaicht. The young fish slip after four to five days, further five days later swim it free and can with ground Trockenfutter, Artemia, Cyclops and most diverse vegetable places be drawn up. This fodder places are suitable even for older animals. My animals already abgelaicht in a size of five centimeters. The Eizahlen with the animals grown up in the meantime on eight centimeters lies with approximately 50 to 60. Gelaicht becomes every four weeks.
Kind affiliation: In other place I do not have expressed that I the opinion am, in the trade animals present descendants of “the L144” would be. In the meantime I see somewhat differently. Short explanation: L144 were some few animals of xanthoristischer Ancistrus, which were backcrossed and distributed by Kerstin Holota with Ancistrus frame L110/157. If one assumes the bypass of the Tentakel is a kind characteristic, corresponds at least the animals maintained by me to those of the original photos - they have completely normal, relatively long Tentakel. The colouring is in my opinion no characteristic, which is suitable for the identification. Even my pair, probably brothers and sisters from a clutch of eggs, differs clearly. The male is orange, the female yellow - to forget, the two animals do not swim together in a basin, are thus not differently nourished. There are however also populations of yellow Ancistrus with dark eyes, which show completely different Tentakelstruktur: With these animals are the Tentakel branches out (see photo in the data base). I assume that that this is another kind, possibly the same, which also the commercial “brown” Ancistrus belongs. Those have the same Tentakel. During the mating one should take if possible animals of the same kind. Otherwise one can experience so some surprise with the young fish. In addition, with purely paired “L 144” approximately a per cent of the young fish can be falsecolored, it has dark marks of different size.
