What species is this?

Post by kennyke12 »

I've got a new fish in my aquarium, but the person who sold it to me, doesn't know what species is was.
I believe that it is a Dasyloricaria filamentosa.

i'm curious to find out (*)

Mouth is wrong for Dasyloricaria. I think it's a Loricaria, maybe
Loricaria simillima
or similar.

I agree with Eric and think it's probably this:
Loricaria sp`rio_atabapo`
.
