I got these two awesome fish this weekend, so far they're settling in well and I'm trying to figure out the best way to have decor arranged to accomodate them. I believe they are both female Spatuloricaria puganensis, if anyone can confirn this or had a better idea of the species please share.
They're both around 9" SL. Love frozen foods. They wont even look at pellets.

Thanks! Not sure where you are located but Global Fish Co in NJ has gotten fish from this genus a few times that i can remember, some very large specimens in the past.

Those are beautiful! (Although I can't help with ID).
Good luck with them!
Cheers, Eric

Apreciate that but that's 3 continents away lol. So I'm guessing they're wild imports from Peru right? I might talk to my local guy and see if it ever pops on his lists.
