I like the black too. This is the 2nd time i see them. The first time i saw this species early this year, it was a much bigger adult specimen. This guy here is a juvenile at 2 inches .

Nice whiptail genes. I also have them. What is its name? i've searched to no avail
what size is considered an adult?
Also, if i am not wrong, these are all wild caught specimens.. from brazil? or rather.. from South America: Sinú and Magdalena River basins and possibly the Catatumbo River ?

Nice Whiptail. Yup, i think it is a Rineloricaria species as well.
I've learnt that the red one is named - Rineloricaria fallax Hemiloricaria sp. L010a.
Not sure about a black one though.
Cheers!

Yeah man.. I am into ottos and whiptails.. Actually algae eaters mostly.. Heard these whiptail catfish can really clear algae real good.. I have the normal whiptail catfish and the red lizards as well.. IMO.. The red lizard do not really help to clear algae as much as the whiptails..Hehe. Hey bro samuel, you into whiptails? Im kinda interested in them now yea. That black one looks good really...

Never create what you can't control
Care to share why do you think this is R. magdalenae? What traits actually distinguish R. magdalenae from the rest?
Where did you read this information? I have not heard of L010a being identified yet.
Oh? Red lizards are not as good huh, actually i thought of getting some recently. I wonder how big can this black fellow be? Can whiptails grow really big?

here is mine - but he's stressed out as i lined him up for this photo shoot. when he is stable.. his black becomes very very dark, like the one genes have.
Tomorrow i will go and take more pictures of the rest of them.

Uhm, yes, I am aware of the article, but these are newly described species.
What I am interested is why do you think your fish is specifically R. magdalenae? Just like to know if there is some article or picture (specifically on R. magdalenae) you found, please do share it with us.
