Rineloricaria sp (Whiptail catfish)

[Discus-n00b]

Got 4 of these yesterday from a local guy who collected them wild in Uruguay. Not sure what species they are exactly though. They spawned in the owners tank before me so I wanted to try my hand at them. Really cool fish so far. Spend most of their time on the bottom in and on the sand bed. Will sometimes bury themselves. I'll try and get a shot of the full fish.

matt I know a lady who goes collecting in Uruguay, she's in gastonia. I wonder if it was the same trip?

Lisa? Most likely. I got these from Scott of The Fish Warehouse in Hickory. Saw Lisa and Scott this weekend at the club meeting.
