Information: |
This genera is identified
by the teeth of the upper mandible being twice as long as the lower
mandible. The upper lip is short, its edge covered by numerous thin,
simple, bifurcate or, more rarely, trifurcate barbels. The lower
lip has small papillae with long filaments along the edge. The leading
ray of the pectoral fins are longer and the upper first spine of
the caudal fin is extended. This species is
very similar to Loricaria
cataphracta from the Guyana highlands
and Loricaria
simillima. Breeding is similar (read
more in Evers, H.-G. & I.Seidel in reference). Remarks:
This genera can sometimes be difficult to identify to species and
can also be difficult to acclimatise to the aquarium when first
imported. |
