Rineloricaria sp?

Can someone help me id this fish. Closest I have gotten is Rineloricaria eigenmanni? The bars under the tail are faint and there's no spots on the belly. Hope someone with a little more experience with this fish can help?

Also, the more black and grey fish (male?) is completely blind.

Hi Clay! Long time no see! Good to hear from you.

The larger fish like to me. The parallel black lines on the underbelly is a trait I've been told to look for to make that ID.

The gray fish might be eigenmanni, but I'm not sure. They do show a range of base color, ranging from a gray- blue- green to tan to red. See these: https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/im ... ge_id=2020 and viewtopic.php?p=324221#p324221
Good luck with them.

Cheers, Eric

Hi Eric, same here. I just got the fish so I'm hoping those black lines show up a little stronger as the fish get more comfortable. Thanks for the response!
