I would just like to thank Dave 66 for all his hard work behind the scenes trying to get these guys ID'd for me.

Here are a few new shots.

What kind of rock is that in the tank? It's got a nice look to it. For some reason whenever I go looking for any I can never find a nice colour in them.

It is just plain grey slate rock that the cichlids decided they would spread sand all over it.:hmm3grin2orange:

Think I'm gonna have to start taking a bottle of water with me when going to look at rocks. Doesn't it just annoy you that they get the sand everywhere!

I would rather they move the sand than the rocks. :ssmile:

Gives them something to do. I usually once per week use a turkey baster and blow it all off again. But I just wanted to catch these shots as it was the first time both whip tails had come out of hiding together. :ssmile:

Thanks Jellygirl.

They are as yet from what Dave has said un named by science. But they are part of the Loricaria family.

These guys I have been told by the LFS were bred in Holland from wild caught parents and will reach approx 11". I await to see if that is the case. They are already over 4".:ssmile:
