| General Remarks | Unfortunately, there is much confusion surrounding this fish. DATZ issued it L287 in December 2000. Then in Feb. 2001 DATZ issued L287 to a Hypancistrus-type fish from the Rio Curua-Una, Para, Brazil. The second fish issued L287 was later given the L Number L 307. DATZ listed L 287 as coming from the Rio do Para, Brazil and reaching 10cm. Das Aquarium issued the same fish the designation LDA 69, stated that it came from "Venezuela," and grew to 7cm. The 2nd Ed. Aqualog book (2004) then published that the fish was in fact not from the Rio do Para, but a tributary of the Rio Xingu. |
