Information: |
There is an actual school
of thought, mainly in Germany, that the smaller Panaques are actually
Panaqolus and the larger species are Panaque.
This species would still then be a Panaque. The differences
are that Panaque have 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. Diet: All Panaque (Panaqolus)
are wood eaters so would need this in an aquarium set-up. Feed also
vegetable foods such as cucumber, courgette (zucchini) and sinking
tablets. 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. Can be identified due to
the red eyes. |
