Description: Rhineloricara lanceolata catfish, or the Whiptail Cat, is a slender brown algae eater that will do well in any peaceful aquaria. This Whiptail Cat will be a great scavenger and algae grazer, and goes well in most peaceful communities. Be careful to not house with more aggressive fish, as the Whiptail Cat can be delicate.
