could be, but it is really pushing it for size.

dont think the way its coloured is quite right either

Here is a really cool whiptail. I want one of these.

Here are a few varieties of whiptail showing the various types.

This one is very odd. I would like to have one of these just to see what its behavior would be.

OOOOH, I'm liking these pics. Things are starting to warm up around here.
Keep the info & pics coming. These fish are SO under-rated and need some attention IMO.

I think that last one i posted is awesome looking. Very different from what we commonly think of when we think of loricariids.

normally, how big will they be once matured?

 

[WyldFya]

Which species? The common L010 gets to be around 8". Mine is around 6", he is around 3 years old.

Sturisoma Aurium (giant whiptail) said to max out at about 12 inches. One little problem is that when I find info like this, it never says if the tail "streamers" are included in the length. I'm assuming not since often, those are half the length of the fishes body.
