Is this a female Hemiloricaria eigenmanni?

Hello Jorge,

I don't think so, that this whiptail is H.eigenmanni. This species hasnt this fine drawing like the whiptail on the photos. I think it could be a female H.wolfei.

I only have found a picture of H. wolfei, this:



from here: http://www.fischlis.net/fish-meinefische/anderewels.htm

and I don't think is the same fish

any more ideas?

I don´t know, but they´re so similar . Good luck with it.

See ya!

P.D.: Saludos Jorge ;)

Hi Jorge,

The picture you found shows a juvenil H.morrowi so the coloration is another as like as yours. Some of the dark spots of the juvenil you can see a bit brighter on your whiptails. But I don't want to commit myself to this species.
