I know this genus is notorious to ID. These are around 8cm TL, and what I consider to be a young male and female. They were imported from Peru by Pier Aquatics. Any ideas?

Hi Martin
A well respected auchenipterid ichthyologist thinks they may be T. striatulus though if they are actually from Peru this ID may be a problem.

They came from Aylesford aquatics and are about the same size as yours. I beleive they got them from Neil Hardy.
