Similar looking to Tympanopleura
sp. "Rondoni" but this species hails
from the other side of Brazilin
the western state of Rondoni whereas our specimens
of sp. marajo come from the Island ofMarajo
which is located on the western side near the Atlantic
ocean.It is located in the Amazon
River delta, eastern Pará estado (state), Brazil.
It is the world’s largest fluvial island (i.e.,
one produced by sediments deposited by a stream or
river).It is not too far from Belem
the capital city of Pará state. Aquarium
Care: Although of a smaller size to its close
relative, Ageneiosus, they could still prove
to be predatory as per this genera, so would need
to be kept with fish that are not too small. Diet:
Presumably meat based.
