The dark ancistrus is a small freshwater catfish with a sucker instead of a mouth and growths on its head. This fish lives on the bottom of rivers in South America and cleans surfaces from algae.
The dark ancistrus differs from other catfish with branched growths on the males' heads. It is beneficial for nature because it cleans water bodies of excess algae and serves as food for larger fish.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
