Identification | The fish labelled Trachelyichthys decaradiatus in the trade is almost always T. exilis. Expect it to be T. exilis unless you know the fish came from Rupununi in Guyana (and you probably would know, since it was probably collected by you personally or for science, and thus labelled, rather than the aquatic fish-trade which has virtually no exports from this region at present). |
General Remarks | Rarely seen in the hobby, due to nearly non-existent exports from the Guyana area where this fish originated. |
