Earlies Imports of Pterygoplichthys, Hypostomus

Post by Jan Hoover »

I am looking for information on early imports of Pterygoplichthys and Hypostomus for the aquarium hobby - particularly in North America. I have one published date of 1893 for Hypostomus (in Sterba, Freshwater Fishes of the World) and that is all. Any references or first-hand information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
