Fergy Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Anyone else see this fish? It's in their planted tank, in that larger set of 3, the top one in the rack with the feeder goldfish at the bottom. It was all plant prices listed, plus (I think, can't remember 100% now) an Adonis Pleco. This fish looked like no pleco I've seen, and upon googling Adonis plecos it's definitely not one of those. It was suctioned onto the glass, had a long pointed nose, and a very long whip-like tail - looked almost like a lizard. Sorry if this seems like a silly question to some, even after keeping fish for almost 2 years now I see I can still get pretty easily stumped. :P Guess I'm just asking if anyone saw it and knows what it is, or knows what I'm talking about. EDIT: Darn, just did some more searching and I'm pretty sure it was a type of whiptail catfish/pleco. Cool fish, never seen one before.

Wingin' It Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 A whip-tail catfish? or maybe a Farlowella? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergy Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Yep I think that's exactly right. I found pics on this site http://www.jjphoto.dk/fish_archive/mall23.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syno321 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Check planetcatfish and try to identify it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomiDemekin Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Those are farlowella catfish. They came in friday, so they must not have the tag up yet. The adonis is in there, it's still quite small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
