Unidentified Loricaria

Post by djw66 »

Folks,
At the behest of someone else, I'm trying to pin down the species name of this whiptail catfish. The fish will reach 11 inches, according to the seller.

Thanks,
Dave

It looks a bit "wide-angle lensed" to me - perhaps just too much wide-angle lens very close up.
