Hi,
I know this is an old thread, but I can confirm that metae can cross breed and produce fry with trilineatus.
I had a group of 7 trils and 2 metae in the same tank, never bothered with each other, and the trilineatus bred on occasion.
I added 3 more metae (finally found some!), and they are all ...

If anyone has a few male metaes and any rabauti I would be interested in buying. Thanks!

Wow, thanks! I took a look at the links and did some of my own hunting. It seems like it might be gracilis, but I'm certainly no expert. Thanks for all the helpful info!

Hi Mol,
Thanks for the response. I got it from a local fish auction, the bag was not labelled with the latin name but beyond that I don't know who/where it came from.
I hope these pics help, I don't see it enough to get a lot of good ones. Thanks!

Hi all! New to farlowellas as well, can anyone help on ID for me please? Thanks!

Hi all!
I am new to the forum, and this is my first post. I was hoping to help get an ID on my aspidoras. They were sold to me as spilotus but I'm not 100% confident...I haven't kept aspidoras before or seen any in the LFS so I don't have anything to compare to. Any help is appreciated!
