Size/temp of various forms of Panaque "nigrolineatus&qu

[MatsP]

Is it fair to set all variants of P. nigrolineatus (L027[abc], L330, etc) to the same size as the regular P. nigrolineatus?

The same question applies to temperature? If not, some hints would be welcome. If you're not a Cat-eLog member but have an opinion, please feel free to PM me.

Since these are top of the hit-list of all species with "no temperature and no length" (to be precise, less than or equal to 1mm length!)

Here is the whole list.

A large majority of that list is "not yet described" species, but that's no good reason to not have details on them, but it's making life harder for me to do the research, as at least fishbase doesn't have any data, and most books are pretty sketch (Aqualog for example is completely ueless for temperature references, as it's only got "cold", "cool", "warm" and "hot" ratings, not any real temperatures).


I spent some time trying to find matches for L200 (which is described), and it's plausible to do that, but it's very time-consuming compared to just looking up in a book or database...

Mats,

I've now sent you general data on this in several PDF files. Can I "resolve" this post?
