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. 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.
