This species is still listed
in Fishbase and the Catalog of Fishes as Rineloricaria wolfei
but the name is currently accepted in some quarters as Hemiloricaria
wolfei. Issbrücker (Issbrücker in Issbrücker
et al, 2001) declared the synonymity of Rineloricaria
and Hemiloricaria as no
longer valid, and the latter again as an independent genus. The
differences
between the two genera are based on the positions of the males bristles
and the top caudal filament on adult Hemiloricaria which
is absent on Rinelolricaria. Aquarium Care:
Reported as quite an easy species to keep and breed. Provide tubes
of approx. 2cm for breeding. Diet: Omnivore. Vegetable
food such as cucumber and other various foods such as tablet, flake
and frozen. More information on this species can be found in the
Catfish Atlas voluime 1 as referenced. |
