I think this is a Hemiloricaria lanceolata
Sorry about blurry picture

Next pictures are of the other whiptail. Not sure what Sp?? Any help??? I think its male what ever is as its checks are hairy.

Is it me or is the second fish snub-nosed?

I bought the second fish earlier today from a local fish shop I rarely visit. I had to save him. I couldn't see him live in the tiny tank any longer.
So can you tell me what you think they are???

Yes. May not have the full compliment of fins either.

Has all his fins! Just hiding them in the photo.

I.d please?

Both look like to me.

Slightly related, but is snub nose something that is common? Of the four I have, two of the adults have snub noses, and two don't. I've had them breed on three occasions but never get to see the fry as assume they are predated on as soon as they hatch and released by the guarding parent.
Thanks

I think so. Most of the tank bred L. simillima I have seen in shops appear to be like this.

Thanks Rupert. These were juveniles I purchased a while back - MatsP had the parents and a few juveniles and I took these four. I'd be interested to know if the ones @MatsP has had the same issue?

Yes, I think a couple of mines were also snubnosed.

We all agreed that they are Hemiloricaria lanceolata then??
