After looking at Bilby's link would have to be L110. Gee, after all the correspondence over the last year or so between those of us who have this fish and we finnally got to indentify them as L110 (not A leucasticta) some one goes and puts another "common name" into the trade.

We must all be careful how we lable fish as not every person buying on these forums have such a deep understanding of the efforts gone into keeping names and species true.

i dont see what your problem is as the post has the scientific name as well as the common name so there is NO confusion... I personally have heard the term (brown peppermint) many times in the trade down here as its the only way to descirbe these fish to ppl who dont know what they are... now these fish were for sale and your son replied in a very unwelcome and unprofesional manner as if was not interested in buying them then he should have kept his sacrcastic coments to him self....if you have a problem with the person Dave i suggest you get in contact with him as his number is still there...last i will say is its not polite to s@#t in someone elses back yard, if you can dish it then take it also....

A number of us put a lot of effort and research into this fish and it is L110 - "Orange spot Bristle"....we don't need any new common names invented.

I nor spooky made up any names nor tried to drive up prices and anyone that said we did doesn't know either on of us and should apologize . the names that were used in the original post are commonly used within the industry. Maybe i work in a different fish industry to everyone else.
I have both fish and they look nothing alike.
I'm not saying that this is the fish and it defiantly is not because as i said before i don't know that they have a classified L-# but you can have a look at L-237.
secondly according to the book L-110 grows to 12cm one of the fish in question is at least 16cm ?
I will not reply to any more posts on this subject because unless you see someones fish in the flesh you shouldn't be commenting on what you think it may or may-not be.
assumptions are the mother of all f#$%-ups.

Tis a hobby
Everyone look into their tank feel the calmness seep into you
Now for some serious flaming hehe *cough* I mean clarifaction
Spooky you were selling A.leuco as orange spots not long ago weren't you? are these the same as the ones just recently sold by this other person as A.leucostitca or is there a different ending to the species name you were selling i.e a.leucostatico (I seriously lack imagination hehe)
I am not trying to get you steamed with that question either I'll leave that to the expert tag teamers
I like my fish better when I say "isn't that a pretty bluey/purply coloured one OHHhhh look at the green one" then.....isn't that S.leuco nah mate that's a surnimensis from the rio grand hehe soooo much less stress
I apologise to all for my political incorrectness and any grammitical/speeling errors

Red spotted bristlenose and Orange spotted bristlenose are both Ancistrus sp. (L110). Overseas they get called red-spotted, here they get called orange-spotted. The Aqualog is printed overseas (Germany I believe), so they used the red version of the common name.
Spooky,
when you say "down here" you mean Vic/Melb? Right? Thats funny...Geoff's post on VCS was the first time many people who also work in the "fish industry" (I suppose this means the aquarium trade/industry) had heard the name "brown peppermints". Aquarium industries has never used this name, and I reckon Australia's biggest wholesale importer/exporter would be in the loop as far as names are concerned.
And to add to this thread...
We don't need more common names, Its bad enough seeing them get called A. leucosticta all the time.

Who knows where exactly the name 'brown peppermint' originated but does appear to have come from Melbourne, I cant say I have seen it used anywhere else.
