Whiptails Male and Female. LOAD WARNING

First the happy couple together.











Now pictures comparing alike parts of the male and the female.









Male alone. You can clearly see the odontode growth on several of the pictures. He is quite a the burly one isn't he?









Undersides You can see that the female's papilla is narrower and longer than the males.









Caught the male blinking





I will be setting up a breeding tank for these two shortly. I'll keep you posted.

I have decided that these two are not of the L. lata species. Their colors are different, the mouth structure is different, and their pectoral fins are the wrong shape.

yep very few are available on the market unfortunately. I've believe that these two may be rineloricaria parva.

Look at the structure of the mouth of a parva compared to mine, and then compare a Lata to that. Very different.

Yeah. Parva is fairly common also though.
