Identity and locality
Domestic Ancistrus line (Super Red)
Captive/hobby origin; locality and initial founder unverified
Diagnostic evidence and naming
Selection for red/orange pigmentation; no original creator or inheritance ratio verified. Common domestic bristlenose stock is often taxonomically unresolved; do not automatically label it Ancistrus dolichopterus or assign L144. PlanetCatfish's retrospectively updated common-bristlenose account and a Norwegian aquarist breeding-form overview report that Super Red was line-selected from calico-type domestic fish, with early development described in Germany. Neither source identifies an individually verified founder or publishes a controlled gene/segregation study.
Breeding and genetics limitations
Requested evidence: named parent pair, breeder identity, F1/F2 outcomes, hatch dates, phenotype photographs, number of generations and selection criteria.
