Thank you Graeme.

The fish is the background is a Farlowella sp., sold as Royal Farlowella when we bought it. It is about 8" long and has very extended top and bottom rays (out of the picture) on the tail.

I loved my farlowella when he was with me. Grew from a tiny 4" little stick into an 8+inch twig in a few short months. Best way to catch them is to just pick them up gently with your fingers. Netting them will often damage their noses.

I vote for more pics too. 8)

i used to have a 'twig cat' which is very close to the farlowella, sans the long nose..but they only get ~4"

that was a neat fish..

Lovely pic. 8) I'm pretty sure that the fish behind the Syncrossus berdmorei is a Sturisoma aureum.

A better look can be had over in the freshwater section. I posted a solo shot of the fish over there. Titled it Farlowella though because I hadn't seen Emma' post.
