Rineloricaria parva (Common Whiptail)

Rineloricaria parva, also known as the common whiptail, is a popular species of whiptail catfish. It is commonly mistaken for other species like Rineloricaria lanceolata and Rineloricaria aurata.

• The description claims R. parva can be distinguished from R. lanceolata by the absence of dark color in the dorsal fin and from R. aurata by banding on the pectoral fins.
