Hi Eugene, so i presume almost all whiptails are around that size? That includes Loricaria sp? Are there such things as dwarf whiptails?
Got them from C328. The adult size i saw early this year was around 15cm or more in length. They should grow similar to the size of the Sturistoma sp. i think.

Sorry, i am not too sure about that. Whiptails sizes range from 10cm and above i think. Have not heard of the dwarf species.

Never get sick of fishes.. They are addictive..
Zack.. All whiptail can really grow very big in a tank.. So if you are thinking of keeping them.. Will be better to have them in at least a 3ft tank.. Of cause as for junvenile.. It is still ok to keep them in a 2ft tank but beware this whiptail can really grow fast..Originally Posted by Zenislev

I see bro, Sturistoma sp. are really interesting fishes. I may setup a tank in the future for them...haha.

Hehe, Samuel.. I think i got to agree with you on this.
Hi Quixotic, i learnt about it from this site.

Never create what you can't control
Yes, there is R. magdalenae, listed in Fishbase, not sure why it isn't listed in PlanetCatfish. As to whether it may be an outdated or invalid name, don't know yet as you know how "fast" Fishbase information gets updated.
There are about 48 valid species in the Rineloricaria genus listed in Fishbase right now, some of them are not listed on PlanetCatfish for some reason or another (possibly awaiting reviews etc?).
Scotcat and PlanetCatfish made no mention of this, and R. fallax and R. sp. L010a are listed as separate species. I think the person in charge in RH may have misread or been provided with incorrect information.
I would stick with the catfish authorities on L010a, i.e it is for now a yet to be identified Rineloricaria sp.
genes, can you share any tips on their care and upkeep? I'm thinking of purchasing a few
They don't seem to be fussy eaters. Take both algae tabs to carnivorous tabs. Should be easy to keep like the sturistomas. They are available again? Where?

i saw some small ones at c328 yesterday, not sure if they've been snapped up yet. leave some for me!
just went to c328 and came back, i bought the last 2 2 inch SL ones, there are a few more in the tank about 1 inch SL, uncle said they were the same species but i couldnt tell the colour in the lighting
These are loricaria, probably cf. simillima they grow quite large.
