Aquarium Care:
R. latirostris adapts to its surroundings to the colouration
of the substrate that it is sitting on. The third thumbnail down
shows this trait. Better to be kept at the cool end of tropical
temperatures due to the proximity that it is found in.
Remarks: Loricaria latirostris treated as valid
following first reviser action of Regan (1904b: 283). |
