Some kind of Rineloricariina from Peru

Post by Erlend D Bertelsen »

One more by-catch, this time from Peru.

The fish is approximately 8 cm long, and did come together with some smaller Hemiloricarai or Rineloricaria specie.

I have a hard time telling all of this fishes apart, they are so close looking.

i have the same fish, i had a trio but two of them died - and now im only left with one female.

Its a very nice fish, and the males are very spiky during the breeding period.

I never found out if it's an L-number or the real name. They look all the same to me :-p

From my Facebook, I did get an answer from a highly reliable person. This fish is an undescribed species from Rio Itaya. Most likely to be placed in the genus Hemiloricaria.
