Fish identification

[-=DG=-]

Hi Everyone,

I haven't been on the forum for a few years. Good to be back. I'm trying to identify these fish that came with a tank I bought. I can't find them anywhere. They are biting the angel fish long fins. Really nice fish but they will probably need to go.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks
DG

Abramites hypselonotus, the marbled headstander.

Awesome. Thanks for that. Lovely fish but I like my angels more.

Yeah, headstanders can be a serious problem with long finned fish. Good decision to give them up.

I agree. After some research, they are Headstanders.

Youmight want some data on this species:

Abramites hypselonotus (Marbled Headstander)

Abramites spp. are separated from other anostomids primarily on the basis of their relatively deeper bodies and presence of a prominent, post-pelvic median keel, a feature unique to the genus. At time of writing A. eques is the only other species recognised and is native to the Río Magdalena...
