Brown whiptail catfish with bushy whiskers resembling sideburns, resting on Amazon sword plant leaf.

Badger the whiptail catfish (Rineloricaria sp.) showing off his fuzzy face. He came with a batch of ‘red lizard’ whiptails but didn’t look like the rest, being a lighter brown with distinct dark stripes running the length of his face, hence the name.
