Relevant Information: |
This genus was previously placed in its own family of Ageneiosidae and you can still find some publications that still follow this line. This specimen was collected in the Pirara River Guyana (Amazon Basin) from a Donald Taphorn expedition. Similar to Ageneiosus ucayalensis. Aquarium Care: Although reputed to be of a smaller size they could still prove to be predatory as per this genera, so would need to be kept with fish that are not too small. Diet: Presumably meat based. |
