Relevant Information:

This species was first published in the magazine DATZ in January 1992 as the L-number 90. Description: 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. Colouration: Juveniles of P. bathyphilus have a white caudal fin, but it becomes a little darker on the posterior, as it matures. A deep river channel species which accounts for the lack of an iris operculum. The deeper they reside the less pigmentation on the body. 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.
