Also this shoot was dominated by loricariidae, but there were quite a few cool sticks in the bunch of new fish at the shop!

Next up, in two rounds, the Spoon Faced Whiptail ()

We now know L080 is two species - a and a - did you happen to get any mouth shots of this one? Is there a backstory to it - perhaps it was captive bred?

Cheers,

Jools
PS Really like the Hemidoras!

I'd call this . have slender caudal peduncles that are much wider than they are high - like for example. In this fish I see three rows of vertical scales on the peduncle hence the suggested ID.
