Relevant Information: |
The differences between the Panaqolus
and the Panaque genera is that the latter has an oval
shaped mouth and the jaws have very large spatulate teeth with
a single cusp, arranged in a v form and Panaqolus have
a small number of spatulate teeth and are also a smaller genus.
Remarks: The type species of P.
armbrusteri is in the
Tapajós River and its tributaries but there
are three other similar populations in the Xingú, Araguaia
and Tocantins rivers to the east. These populations
are still to be studied. The colour differences to these populations
is that P. armbrusteri has a greenish/brown colouration
and a pattern of very thin lines. Diagnosis:
Panaque armbrusteri is diagnosed from all members of
subgenus Scobinancistrus by having greater than seven
dentary and premaxillary teeth (vs. three or four dentary and
premaxillary teeth), by dentary and premaxillary tooth cusps being
unicuspid (vs. bicuspid), and by dentary and premaxillary tooth
cusps being short and ladleor spoon-shaped (vs. main tooth cusps
being long and spatulate); and from all members of subgenus Panaqolus
by having a body color pattern consisting of alternating dark
brown to black and light brown to gray longitudinal stripes (vs.
body color pattern consisting of spots or vertical and/or oblique
bands), by individuals ,114 mm SL having a hyaline caudal-fin
window (vs. caudal fin uniformly opaque, banded, or spotted),
and by reaching a maximum adult size of at least 345 mm SL (vs.
,150 mm SL). Aquarium Care: This species is a
bit robust in an aquarium set-up so would need plenty of hiding
places, plenty of water changes, due to their wood eating habits,
and powerfull filtration. Needs a spacious aquarium. Diet:
All Panaques and also the Panaqolus genera are
wood eaters so would need this in an aquarium set-up. Feed also
vegetable foods such as cucumber, courgette (zucchini) and sinking
tablets. See further information from the reference, Lujan et
al. |
