Does anyone know of any catfish or plecostomus native to Lago de Izabal, Guatemala? I have a Golden Mojarra (Hericthys Bocourti) in a 150 gallon and would like to have a catfish or pleco tank mate. I'm finding it difficult to get much information perusing the internet.
Thanks!

, and Potamarius izabalensis are known from the lake.
There is a more comprehensive list here (with some differences in taxonomy).
