Amphiliidae

Amphiliidae
Amphiliidae = ( am fill EE id dee )

Commonly known as "Loach Catfishes"or "African Whiptails" due to the resemblance that some of  them have to the whiptails of the South American Loricariidae family. Not too well known to aquarists as they are only sporadically exported. A little harder to keep than their South American companions. They do like moving water hence their other common name of "African hill stream fishes".
