I got 3 new fishies. L10a red lizard whiptails and that is just what they look like, red lizards.
I took a photo while drip acclimatizing and just as well.
After I released them, they dissappeared in the tank to hide.
I hope they don't hide away for too long.

Very nice looking fish.

There does not appear to be a profile for this fish so can you give a few details on them (max size, aggresive, diet, etc...)?

Leliella sp. "unidentified"

Prefers a well planted tank. Cave [or more accurately, tube] spawner. Feeds on microinvertebrates and some detritus. Non aggressive, and in fact, to some extent, loosely colonial.

very nice, i have not seen them before. Hello everyone

Wow brengun its beautiful. I've gotta say I've never heard of it before

The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we dont know what to do.

Here's the planet catfish link to them.

They seem a lot more active (ie moving) than my common whiptails who get me all excited when they move an inch.

Lol i get that way with my Raphaels to. "OMG DID IT JUST TWITCH!?"
now is it just me http://planetcatfish.com/catelog/image.php?image_id=4637 or does that one look like it has hair? Any idea what that is?

Ah, very nice, I haven't seen these guys before in person but they're actually quite nice fish.

Many loricariids actually have hair-like growths on the surface of their body as well as on the spines of some their fins. These are known as odontodes. Long odontode growth, known as hypertrophied odontodes, usually are a sign of a mature male. In some species, such as large Panaque, hypertrophied odontodes may be present on the gill cover, which can be erected and conceivably used in defense or in fighting between males. Other species, such as certain Peckoltia species the male may actually appear fuzzy due to the odontode growth all over its body. In Neblinichthys pilosus, odontode growth on the nose of mature males reaches ridiculous proportions.
