The snout shape is way off, it's not a Farlowella... awesome fish, though! Where did you get it?  Just look at that tail!

Some species of Rineloricaria, maybe...??

Toss

Thanks PFG, I tried that at planet catfish. I couldn't find any pic similar to mine.
I have one species of Rineloricaria that I purchased the same time.

for me the two pic (the first 2 and the red one) are Rineloricaria.
now which one , hmm

PaleoFishGirl

Ooh, Red Lizard Whiptail, very nice!!  :o :o :o  Seriously, where are you getting these? ;)


Toss

HAHAHA... you missed the last Montreal auction. Actually, we (Robert, Brian, Trung and myself) decided to leave the auction a little early to try to visit either or both BA and/or Nature pet in Point Claire. We barely made it to Nature pet. That was where I got them from. They also have a Cameroon fan shrimp that Bryana probably like to have :)

Yeah, I'm sorry to have missed the auction.  I <3 Nature Pet, it's a great store.  Excellent finds! I hope you can identify that whiptail, I looked all over Planet Catfish too with no luck!

So when are you going back  ;D

Laura

The link says it will be 9.5" SL - with the phenomenal tail it'll be one long fish!
They are beautiful, I especially love the red one.
700 gal pond - Rosy reds

Very nice, I'm glad you solved the mystery (now I can go back to sleep... oh, wait... I'm at work! oh, wait, it's the GoC...)!!

Toss

Yeah, Trung (apupet)asked me at the store if I should do research on the fish before I go for it. My bad, impulse buying. Good thing I didn't buy three of each, only pair of each ;D ;D
When they grow up, I might have to trim the tail off a little  :D ... j/k

I saw some of those at Big Als innes about five days ago.  I thought they were pretyt nifty.  They were sold as threadfin plecostomus or something like that.  Neat looking fish for sure!
