There has
been (2003) a recently discovered population from Santarém
which has broader and brighter yellow bars. Similar to the
Panaque/Panaqolus and Peckoltia genera but have fewer
and larger teeth in the lower and upper jaw.
Sexual differences: Males posses a broader and
longer head and odontodes on the posterior part of the body, behind
the gill covers and on the pectoral fin spines. The latter two are
a lot shorter in the females. Diet:
Omnivores, juveniles are keen on vegetable foods whereas adults
are less so. Frozen foods such as brine shrimp, mosquito larvae
and mussels as well as tablet foods. |
