Latin name for the 2 common kuhlis please

I know the stripped ones are Pangio kuhlii, but what about the black/olive colored ones? Is there even a designation for them other them Pangio subspecies?

Have a look at the fish in the first and fifth groups. These are the ones most often called Kuhlies. I have seen about 4-5 of them available in some local store or other through the years.

I looked there earlier, but not a thoroughly as i should have. Looks to me like i have Pangio oblonga. Thanks for the more direct locations.

I'm so stoked because i just found out my Pangio kuhlii had babies and i'm a bit particular about the latin names of my fish. So i thought i'd ask about the black kuhli which is the kuhli i assumed would have had the offspring (if any) as i have more of them to begin with 7/8 of them and only 3 pangios. So far i've seen two offspring about 1.5"/2".

Congrats on the babies! If you can see the bottom of the tank from under it you can probably find more. Do you have an open frame stand?

No chance of that, my gravel bed is around 4" thick. If there is more they are hiding well. I saw one out lastnite in my biggest crypt with a couple of the adults. My camera is not cooperating at all, neither are the loaches. Its a very dense crypt and they peek out just for a moment, frustrating and back aching waiting for that perfect shot.
