Red Lizard Whiptail Catfish (RINELORICARIA SP.) , a popular ornamental species, are hardy and non-aggressive, making them an ideal choice for community aquariums. They are easy to care for and require little maintenance. These unique catfish are sure to provide a stunning addition to your tank. These Red Lizard Whiptail Catfish we sell are bred in captivity by hobbyist and are not wild-caught. This means that they come from a sustainable source and are typically much hardier compared to wild-caught Red Lizard Whiptail Catfish. Due to their adorable schooling behavior, these fish have become pretty sought after in the hobby. We sell them at about 1-2 inches in length but they can grow to a a max size at about 4.5 inches.
Red Lizard Whiptail Catfish are pretty easy to care as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of parameters. The following are our water parameters we keep them at:
Our Tank Water Parameters
PH: 7.2 to 7.5
GH: 7 to 8
KH: 3 to 4

We feed them a mix of live baby brine shrimp, frozen daphnia and high-quality flake food.

This is a little guy. We call him MooShoo. He hides well and it's fun to try to find him. We often see him hanging out on the driftwood, but sometimes he likes to hang out on plant leaves. It will be fun to see him grow up! He is a perfect addition to our aquarium.
Nice sized healthy fish!
Omgosh! My new favorite fish! I cannot wait for it to reach adulthood. Absolutely gorgeous
Love him just wish he was bigger too enjoy him now lol can't find or see him most of time
Arrived very healthy and quickly
I ordered 3 fish ,2 were DOA. The survivor appears to be male, no red on my fish.
I believe the fish are too delicate to be shipped.
They are not good swimmers and there is nothing for them to hold onto in the bag, so they just get slammed around during shipping.
Merchant was quick to reply and refunded immediately. Very impressed with communication.
Cool corky little fish
Lovely fish! My shipping got delayed the first time (not to shrimpy’s fault), and 2/3 fish died. However, shrimpy was quick to refund me for them! I then placed an order for 6, and they all arrived happy and healthy.
Super cool fish! Awesome store.
10/10
They are great!
Looking forward to watching this little guy/girl grow and color-up!
Great customer service and quick responses.
Everything was well packaged with styrofoam walls and a piece that separated the bottom layer from the top. Both halves had a heating pad taped to the top and both were still warm.
In total I bought 21 fish and 3 snails and everyone arrived healthy, eating well and behaving normally.
I am thoroughly happy with my 1st purchase from this seller and am looking forward to more purchases to come!
Love them had three shipped to alaska all arrived alive and healthy
Fast shipping, nice fish
Beautiful Lil guys. They are happy and healthy
He is acclimating nicely. He has another in the tank.
They are very cool fish.
Did not survive after one day with ample waterconditions and proper acclimation.
I ordered quite a few fish (36 in total) and all but 1 arrived alive, healthy and alert. Shrimpy was quick to refund the money for the one DOA. 100% positive experience and fish are gorgeous. I highly recommend this company!!!
Woo-Hoo! Man am I stoked to get my whiptails! This is certainly one of my top 3 favorites, they're just a crazy cool and gorgeous fish. The red lizard is my favorite of the whiptail types I've seen so far; is it just me, or do others think of 'Avatar' seeing these? Jason Momoa as the 'mer-people' tribal warrior king swimming on these 'water dragons' in the Pandoran oceans battling Earthlings in submersibles.
I'm almost anxious to see them getting some size on them so I can see their characteristics better.
Wow my tank so clean
