Farlowella sp?

Post by Taratron »

Wouldn't you know that by the time I had a fish I needed ID'd, the cursed camera breaks...

But I'll do my best with words. Was told it's a farlowella, of a sorts. 5-6 inches long, "suckermouth" obviously, sandy-tan colored with a thick spade-ish body and long narrow tail. Likes to burrow in my tank's sand substrate.

I could have sworn there was an ID post about a fish like this recently....


EDIT: AHA! I knew there was a post recently....fish looks like it's from the Hemiloricaria family/genus.....
