Sturisoma Catifsh - Regal Whiptail?

Hello,

When I got my biggest tank I got some fish with it. The seller described the fish as "sturisoma catfish (regal whiptail)". I have looked in the cat-eLog but he doesn't look like the whiptails on there.

He's about 5" long but thin and looks very much like a stick (his name is Stick! LOL), He has a very long 'nose' and when he swims he does it very clumsily, a bit drangon fly like!

I don't have a picture here - http://fish.orbust.net/forums/index.php ... 22&t=22569 - although it's not very good I think you can just about make out his outline. I will try to get a better picture with my new camera soon.

Thanks for any help

It's some kind of Farlowella. Look in here to check which species you have.
