Relevant Information: |
The species is not an obligate air-breather and does not routinely gulp air in well-oxygenated aquaria. This is one of the Loricariidae genera that does not posses an iris lobe in the eye and also has no adipose fin. Very similar to Pseudorinelepsis genibarbis but L095 has noticeable orange cheeks which P. genibarbus does not posses. Aquarium Care: Grows rather large and would need a large tank to accommodate it. Sexual Differences: Males have a longer head and difference in the genital papilla whereas the males anal opening is thick and bulging while the females is short and indented for protection. Diet: Omnivore: Feed veg, frozen foods and also tablet and pellet food. |
