Habitat: This species occurs in the Santiago-Cayapas River basin in Ecuador (Barriga 2012) and in the Atrato, Baudo, San Juan, and Telembi Rivers in the Pacific drainages of Colombia and the Cauca and Patia River basins of Colombia (Maldonado-Ocampo et al. 2005). The type locality is the Durango River in northwestern Ecuador at an elevation of 106 m (Ferraris 2007). This species occurs between 10 to 500 m asl. Reproduction: The Rineloricaria species are usually cave spawners, where the female will place their eggs after the male has cleaned inside. The male will then guard and fan the eggs until hatching. The eggs will hatch in 4-5 days whereas the male can now be removed. More breeding information can be found here in the articles breeding section. Aquarium Care: Not exported very often but should be an easy species to keep with no excessive demands on water parameters. Diet: Omnivore. Vegetable food such as cucumber and other various foods such as tablet, flake and frozen. Etymology: The specific name jubata: maned or crested, presumably referring to the thick band of long, hair-like bristles on each side of the heads of males.
