I'm having problems positively ID'ing this Loricarinae... any help would be great.

Thanks







Edit: I forgot to mention he's roughly 4"s.

<i>Loricaria simillima</i>?

Loricaria simillima for me to

I agree too!

Looks like an L10 to me

<I>Loricaria lata</I>? Maybe but it would most likely have to be a tank raised one as I have note seen this species imported for a LONG time. I reckon <I>S. simillimia</I> is much more likely.

around late last year, there was a shipment of L10 and they wer very big so i expect them to be wild.. My friend got them from peru ;)

I'm leaning towards L. Simillima too. These are wild fish as the store I got them through recieved 3 of them two days prior to me purchasing them. Unfortunately the LFS said they received shipments from Brazil (they didn't know where in Brazil), Lima and Bogota on that day. So I can't really pin down a location. I also know they aren't locally bred because the only Loricaria Simillima bred in our club are the brown variant. Of the 3 the store brought in, I got 2 as one of the employees had purchased 1 ( why you'd only get 1 I have no idea ) They were marked black loricaria $40 (US) a piece, I know a few people @ this LFS pretty well so they cut me a deal and charged me $40 for the both of them minus my club member 10% discount ($36). That's about all the info I have on them, I'll take better photos today and post them.

Thanks

I purchased 2 catfish that were labeled 'Hi Fin Catfish' at my local store and I would like to learn more about them. They are growing very large very quickly. They are incredible.

I'm still looking for a L. Simillima. Very nice!
