is the most common species in the trade. I can't see any reason why it isn't that species (although they are difficult to ID).
Congrats on breeding, and nice pictures too.

ID is Farlowella platorynchus.
And the eggs just started hatching last night, at least one of them so far so I guess the rest will follow.

How did you reach that conclusion? Might be useful to state why, as it helps add useful info to the site for future users.

Hi,
IMHO they are not F. vittata (rostrum too long) and not F. platorynchus (rostrum too short).
But don't ask me what they are...
Cheers,

They got this ID by Norman Behr at the "Loricariidae Skandinavia" facebook group...

Hi,
ok, if Norman says so then I'm probably wrong.
The overall pattern and also the patterns of the rostrum fits to F. platorynchus very well. Perhaps the length of the rostrum is a bit variable.
Cheers,

Some of those photos are very Cat-eLog worthy. Congrats on the spawn and congrats on the great photography.
