Relevant Information:

Previously in the Crossoloricaria genus. Habitat: Occurs in the main river and major tributaries, always over sandy beaches. Reproduction: These taxa are abdomino-lip brooders. Eggs are laid in a single layered mass, and are attached to the surface of the lower lip and abdomen of the male. Aquarium Care: Likes to bury itself in a deep sandy bottom substrate with only the eyes being visible so you would need to provide this for aquarium maintenance. A good water current and partial water changes are needed to keep this species/genera in good condition. As this genera is smaller than the other larger lip brooders of the Pseudohemiodon genus, Rhadinoloricaria would be a better bet for aquarium husbandry. Diet: Feed with tablet foods, frozen mosquito larvae, daphnia etc.
