Hello guys.
Two days ago I´ve purchased four of this fellows.
I let you some pics to identify them.
Thanks.

Nobody can help me to identify them?

Do you know where they come from?

I am fairly confident these are Hemiloricaria eigenmanni they just look lighter due to the light colored substrate they are over.

I also noticed that some other Hemiloricaria spp have sneaked into the cat-elog entry for this sp. Will address this in the appropriate forum.

Acanthicus, The fish were bought in a store whose provider may bring them from the Czech Republic.
Shane, I thought about that species, but I had doubts.
The color made ​​me a bit clueless, specially the ventral pattern: on my fish it´s totally white.
I´ll try to take a picture of the belly (it´s hard, because they doesn´t stuck on the glass usually).

I think I have them misidentified on the cat e log, so maybe hasemani?

Your fish looks the same as mines.

These look exactly like a group of Hemiloricaria hasemani (This is my best guess)
that I purchased here on the West coast USA. I was told by the Supplier that they obtained them from
a German supplier and that the common name was "Colombian Whiptail catfish".
The group I have have spawned twice now, the eggs are small (About Cory egg size)
and green. Males have cheek and nape bristles. Keeping them on sand in a 55 gallon (USG)
tank at 78f. Medium current and clay and bamboo open ended tubes. Feeding black worms
and Repashy. A photo of my specimens are in "my Cats"
