Rineloricaria eigenmanni
Whiptail Catfish, Eigenmann's Whiptail Catfish
Rineloricaria eigenmanni thrives best in aquariums that mimic their natural habitat with sandy substrates, driftwood, and subdued lighting. They are bottom-dwellers known for their distinctive whiptail and use of elongated fins to stabilize themselves in fast-moving waters. Their diet should include a mix of algae, plant material, and sinking pellets designed for catfish. Known for a peaceful demeanor, they coexist well with other non-aggressive species.
