| Scientific Name | Panaque sp. `ACRE` |
| Common Name(s) | None |
| Pronunciation | pan ah KAY |
| Etymology | The generic epithet "panaque" is a Venezuelan common name for this fish. |
| Species Information | |
| Size | 150mm (5.9") SL. Find near, nearer or same sized spp. |
| Identification | The genus Panaque is identified by the teeth, which are spoon-shaped. This means that the teeth are noticeably wider at the tip than at the base. Other loricariidae have teeth that are similar width all the way from one end to the other. A second distinguishing feature is the lack of a buccal papilla, which is a "flap of skin" on the inside of the mouth. See pictures in this PDF on Pterygoplichthys. |
| General Remarks | This unusual species is reported collected in the Rio Amonia near the Brazilian town of Marechal Taumaturgo which is just East of the border between Brazil and Peru. The specimens shown are around 7" SL. |
