Relevant Information:

Description: Rineloricaria reisi is distinguished from other species of the genus by the abdomen partially covered by a set of irregular series small plates, decreasing in the previous sense and preceding the preanal plate, not reaching the height of insertion of the pectoral fins; for the waist area bare shoulder and a set of small plates located below the gill openings by contacting abdominal side plates. In addition, the following combination helps to differentiate it from other species: the tip of the snout with a bare oval area is not extending later and pectoral fins reaching the first third to half of the pelvic fins . Rineloricaria reisi resembles R. misionera by the abdomen partially covered plates, but in this last species the abdominal series contact plates side abdominal (which does not occur in R. reisi); differs from R. maquinensis not present rectangular plates along the base of the pelvic fins, characteristics of that species. Aquarium Care: As with all Rineloricaria provide long leaved plants or bamboo stalks for them to hang on to. Diet: Omnivore.
