These look green (yes, green) and brown in the tank but go red when photographed. They are young fish, very nice. 'R'. lanceolata or heteroptera?

A couple more pics of the Apistoloricaria. Steve picked up a pair for me, after some were reserved for a trip to Germany (I believe).

The caudal extensions are longer than the body length. Also nice dorsal and pectoral filaments.

They get very active for bbs and bloodworm, and appear to sift for granular food also.

Cheers,
Mark.
