I, I'm new in the forum. First excuse my grammar and vocabulary, I'm French and not fluent in English. I've bought to a aquariophile 3 juveniles (7 month old) sold as sturisoma aureum what I suspect to be 3 young rineloricaria eigenmani. They are 6cm nose to tail plus 1,5to 2,5 cm tail filament.
May you please confirm their specie ? Or are they too young?

Hi

Welcome to the forum!

I'd say it's , certainly no .

Definitely not eigenmanni nor any Sturisomatichthys.

OK, thanks for your help! I've had a sturisoma panamense and I thought there was a huge difference physically first and in their comportement. Your answer help me to identify them and theirs specific needs.
Thank you!

No worries, BTW, if you think you have , you probably did have ! The former is never exported and had been a misidentification for decades...
