Received from lfs as Farlowella acus with the common name above but researching the fish shows that the majority of F. acus are incorrectly labelled and the common name provided is a separate species that looks accurate but lacks the head extension, which I read is part of the species sexual dimorphism in its size. So curious to see what people here think, seeing as last time I asked I got a good response on an id.
Hoping to pick up 2-4more from lfs later this week if I can.
