Are you using a mobile app? Or on a pc?
The mobile app like Tapatalk you can post pictures directly to the forum. If you are on a pc you need to first upload the pictures on a host site, and than you can copy and paste the URL into your post!

I just bumped an older post! It explains how to post pictures a bit better! It should be marked as new post!

I have a couple of guesses! If it has a sucker type of mouth, than it is a pleco of some sort! However if it has feelers along its large mouth, than it is a cat fish! Maybe a banjo cat?! So I guess my question is what kind of mouth does your fish has?

Definitely not a plecco it does suck on the glass but not like a plecco at all the guy I got it off of has miniature ones but says he hasn't gotten the one like that in over 10 years

Interesting! It is most likely a banjo cat species of some sorts!

That is a royal farlowella, a whip tail catfish!

Most people think they are algae eaters, however they are most definitely are not! Mine eat frozen baby brine shrimp!

I don’t think it’s a Royal Farlowella . I think it’s a Farlowella vittata . Hopefully member “ Bettaja “ will come along to verify the I.D . Either way it’s a great fish .
