Pseudohemiodon?

[rens-ie]

Hello,


recently i have three fishes that I bought as pseudohemiodon species.
But after looking on the internet I'm still not sure what kind of fish I have.
I hope you can help me with the right ID.
The picture in the bucket is before when I bought them.
On the picture where the fish are in the bucket you can see that one fish looks more slim.


Thank you already,
Rens

Do you know what kind of Loricaria?
The store where I bought this fishes says the came with the peru import from the rio amazonas Peru.
On planetcatfish if i look for the distrubution for Loricaria there are none found in Peru?

Rens

Probably

Loricaria simillima

which, as it says on this site, is an Amazonas species and so that includes Peru.

Oke thank you then I looked wrong. I only looked to the pointers on the map by distribution places.
Thnks for helping me.

[Jools]

No problem, the pointers on the map show the mid point of a lake, river or drainage system or the type locality. So mapping it to a country doesn't often work. Hope that makes sense,

Cheers,

Jools

Yes that's make sense.
I will contact the store tomorrow that this is not a pseudohemiodon but al loricaria,

Hello,
is the difference in wide of the head that one is male and the other female?

Gr Rens

[Jools]

Yes, but it's more evident in the lower lips of the male which are enlarged.
