Whiptail ID Confirmation

Post by Cory Ben »

Hi, I've bought a couple of these this morning. Bought as Loricaria Sp. Rio Atabapo which looks about right to my novice eye.

I hadn't before this morning seen these guys, I've bought a possible pair. They're a little young I think to 100% accurately sex.

Cheers,
Ben.

Sure looks like to me! (but I am a novice as well)
I can stop keeping catfish whenever I want. I just don't think I'll ever want to do that...
