These particular specimens
were caught in the Misiones province, Argentina,
close to the Uruguayan border and also over into Uruguay
by the Image contributor. This species is very similar
to Rineloricaria
sp. "Paranà
1" but has no
filaments to the caudal and the transverse stripes
are darker. Aquarium
Care: As with all Rineloricaria
provide long leaved plants or bamboo stalks for them
to hang on to as you can see in the second thumbnail
image. Diet: Omnivore. Vegetable
food such as cucumber and other various foods such
as tablet, flake and frozen.
