Rineloricaria ID needed

[bekateen]

Last year I found 4 Rineloricaria in a LFS in Cincinnati. I thought they were R. morrowi.

I was in Cincinnati, Ohio yesterday and the day before. I visited Chris Benes' Finspiration Aquatics store. They have a tank with several Orinocodoras eigenmanni for sale, if anyone is still interested.

I would have bought some, except that I found four Microglanis of what I think are Microglanis aff_iheringi variant 3 and four

Rineloricaria morrowi

! (both which I bought instead).

Cheers, Eric

Sadly, over time all but one have died. But the one remaining has gotten much larger. Now I don't think it's R. morrowi .

What I like about this species is the slight wood grain texture to anterior-dorsal pigmentation and the smoky rose color in the fins.

Any ID help is appreciated.

Cheers,
Eric

People on Facebook, including Norman Behr, suggested

Rineloricaria fallax

.

Looks right.

Dang, wish I had a pair.
