phoenix44 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I just learned something interesting today, and want to see if its true; so need to see pics of your mature brown male (and possibly female) bristle noses. If you know they are a certain type of bn, please let me know what you think they are as well Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 well aren't you the inquisitive one :lol: its not those spots im looking for but the normal ones. or even lack of the normal spots that has me thinking. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I will try to get some shots for you. i have about a dozen adults 4-5m and 7-8f. They vary from almost black with small light dots through to tan with mottles. None were ever designated as anything specific. Plan is to breed the tan ones together. Interested to hear your theory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Fantastic, I was hoping you would play too :lol: My theory is that I have an Ancistrus triradiatus. It does not look like a cirrhosus at all. having said that there are soooo many different types of bn's that it is completely possible that that just have not gone through the entire list of possibilities. the guy i have is about 3-4 years old, small for that age, but has nice bristles and a plain brown colour, like a bark. Not a single spot on him. I also had a mega huge one a while ago who was easily 18cm or more which I don't think is really normal for them.

firenzenz Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have a big grandaddy too at about same size. Where did you get the BN you talking of. Unless its new stock i would suspect like mine they are just the result of mixed BN's and the chances of IDing them as specific is very small. Rather that it is just an individual that looks like something but thats not to say it isn't showing traits of its distant origin. My thoughts anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morcs Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Ive got a 4''+ male ill try and get some shots of if i see him today Hes a shot i took last week. He has spots and his bristles are all over his face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I got the pure brown bn from a friend who got him from somewhere in tauranga. no spots or any thing on that one. I must get a pic of him. The mega massive one is this one: - got him from wet pets in palmy. couldn't believe he was a bn when I saw him. __ and this is what a normal male bn looks like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
