These two little fish came with a shipment of Aspidoras pauciradiatus.
A. cf. pertensis?

And this one?
Looks to me like A. regani with the eight bars including tail. However it is still very small.
The second photo suggests that it is not showing the bars all the time. It does however show them most of the time.

Hehe... you don't believe me?

I still say A. cf. pertensis from Rio Negro.
(and the second one I still don't know!)

best regards,
Rolo

p.s. my Mouthbrooder babies are swimming free... :)

Rolo is probably correct: A. cf. pertensis, but I would wait until they are larger to be certain. The other does not appear to be A. regani (the caudal spot is not a bar that covers the entire height of the caudal pedunce), but it is a regani-complex fish - probably A. sp. São Gabriel. Again it will be easier to identify when it is larger/older.

The first one was already known.

The second one has a vertical caudal spot most of the time. Just not on the second picture.

A. regani has broad vertical bars & narrower areas between. The caudal spot covers the entire height of the caudal peduncle. Your fish as evenly spaced bars and a spot that that is even in width over the entire the entire height of the caudal peduncle. My guess is that you have either A. sp. São Gabriel (A 53) from the upper Negro or A. cf. regani from the Rio Trombetas (A 56).

OOPS! I should have written "Your fish as evenly spaced bars and a spot that that is not even in width over the entire the entire height of the caudal peduncle. Sorry for the error.

Damn! I can't type today. My last post should say:
