Jump to next section Species Information
Size 250mm or 9.8" SL. Find near, nearer or same sized spp.
Identification Mature males and sometimes females have soft tentacles (bushy fleshy growths) on the snout - this is unique to the genus Ancistrus.

A. punctatus is commonly considered a junior synonym of A. hoplogenys however the latter species has long suffered from a case of mistaken identify. A. punctatus is presented here as the large species with a charcoal colouration, light white pinprick spots and a small dark marking just behind the base of the leading dorsal spine. It does not have white edges to the fins and doesn't have an inky black colouration as an adult.
Sexing Typical for the genus with males possessing the so-called 'bushy nose'. Females also may have much smaller growths on the head but to a much lesser extent." -www.planetcatfish.com
