Branch catfish, I have just purchased 6 branch catfish, but didnt get the name with me then i hope there is someone who can help?:D

The Genus is most likely Rineloricaria***. As a hobbiest, identifying them down to a species level can be difficult at best without a collection locale.

Care is very similar across the Genus. has a good write up of the basics you'll need.

(***=Is Hemiloricaria still valid?)

No (according to CoF)

As to the common name, which in Swedish is "grenmal", the correct English name would be "twig catfish", but it is used for rather than Rineloricaria.
