Nam, can you get a full length photo of them. Need to see the tail and extended dorsal if possible.

Will try, dorsal is slightly curves back and only 1 filament on top of tail fin.

Then that will be a Loricaria filamentosa.

I'll post some pics later tonight to help Id other types of Whiptails.

Additional information for this fish, 'it is often confused with L.parva' :D
