 Relevant Information:  These particular specimens were caught in the Paraná River, two miles from Paraná City  and in a  small lagoon  called "La Ensenada" by the Image contributor in 2003. There are  close on 10,  still to  be  identified species  of  Rineloricaria in  the Paraná river basin and  we have labeled them as  they  are  collected as, "Paraná 1" & 11 etc.  This species has  one filament on the top lobe of the caudal  fin and is light brown in colouration. It also  has  irregular blotches on the head and down the length  of its body and a more blunted  head than "Paraná 1" and it  also  possess more rounded dorsal  and pectoral fins than  the latter.
