Panaqolus "Rio Itaya"
 

Is there any one who can give me some more information on this species of Panaqolus? I've seen two fish in my LFS that were called this and they were very nice. I had never seen Panaqolus looking like these. But I can't find anything about them. Only information is the catch location, Rio Itaya. There is just one picture of them.. They look exactly the same.

I asked Andreas and he might think it is Peckoltia. So I went to look at Peckoltia and saw Peckoltia Brevis. They look very similar...
Could they be wrongly labelled?

Hey,

thats possible with a wrong label. The same is in Germany to find sometimes.

Hi
as far as I know these are indeed Peckoltia brevis (which maybe equal to L205). A few years ago I had a group of them.

Hi,

taking into account where it came from it's L 205; we caught this one in the Rio Tapiche which is not too far from Rio Itaya:


In Rio Itaya itself we caught this Panaqolus, most probably Panaqolus changae (which is obviously different):


Cheers,

Thank you all for helping. I got a picture of the actual fish in the store. The owner was happy to hear the real identity of these fish and will change the name.
