New loricaria/rineloricaria

Post by Dimidiata »

Bought a fish labled "tiger striped whiptail" and I'm still not sure which species it is. This was the photo supplied by the seller, he's acclimating right now but it seems like the same fish. I'll get pics of the actual fish once he settles. Also, the seller says they get 4-5" long max

R. eigenmanni looks good to me also. But you should check the belly for parallel longitudinal lines formed along each segment.

If R. eigenmanni, they are prolific spawners once they start.

Cheers, Eric
