I got a fish today called a Red Lizard Fish. I done a google surch, and can't find anything that matches the fish I balt, will try and get a pic of it wile he still in his bag.

LFS said he likes algie and and is a ground feeder.

Hey ferrikins,
My LFS has some of these in, I was tempted but they were Pricey.

Long Browny/Red Stripes Yeah.

possibly a loach of the Homaloptera species
I'd go so far as to say a Homaloptera orthogoniata

 

[yvez9]

Seen them in my lfs, and they're absolutely lovely. They were prices around 7 euros ... hard to leave, but just didn't have room at the time.

--Edited--

Was gonna add a picture from planet catfish, but seems a bit big.

Had one for about 4 years, seems happy in a planted 30g small fish community.

I've had another look at him, and I think your right wolf, the shape of his head matches more, of the pic's I've found. He been in the dark since i got him home, so when the light goes on in a min will have a proper look.

EDIT: Just had a good look he's a loach, looks alot like this http/www.loaches.com/species_pages/homal...rthogonita.html
