Relevant Information:

Description: 37 vertebrae (vs. 35-40), and the first dorsal-and anal-fin pterygiophores placed anteriorly to the 18th neural spine and 22nd hemal spine of the vertebral column, respectively (vs. anteriorly to the 16th-21st and 20-25th, respectively) (Katz, A.M. & Costa, W.J.E.M., 2020). Habitat: Cambeva guaraquessaba occurs exclusively in the tributaries to the Paranaguá Bay. Inhabits river with clear water, falls, rapids and moderate current flowing over the rocky beds, intercalated with pools. Occurs in association with stones and plant debris on the bottom. Colouration: Distinguished from its congeners by the colour pattern with a mid-lateral line composed of black spots with about the eye size (vs. body with blotches or spots not forming a mid-lateral stripe). Diet: Will feed on most aquarium fare such as tablet, frozen and live foods. Etymology: Named after Munucipio de Guaraqueçaba and the Area de Proteçao Ambiental de Guaraqueçaba, the area of occurrence of this species.
