Whiptails in need of ID's

I have two types of whiptails I can not identify. Hopefully you folks here can help me out. There are two photos labeled type 1 and 4 labeled type 2. The one labeled type 1 breeds all the time but I have been unable to raise any of the fry. The ones labeled as type 2 are a group of 4 I picked up as an unidentified sturisoma. I know the pictures are not the best but alas I am no photographer. http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/tippmann_dad ... ptail+cats
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your help in advance.

Edit: Okay after much searching I believe the type 2 whiptail to be some type of Loricaria. Very similar to lata but not quite.

Edit: Fixed photo link

Its hard to ID him with those pictures. Go to the Cat-eLog, search By Common Names, go down till you see whiptails. They have 8 different kinds of whiptails. You can see which one looks most like yours.

Type 2 looks like Hemiloricaria Lanceolata, I could be wrong though.

Thanks BIGblue. I tried comparing them to all the photos in the cat-e-loque with no matches. I will keep looking but was hopeing someone here might have a better idea.
