Relevant Information: |
Habitat: Cambeva flavopicta is only known from the upper Rio Inferno Grande and tributaries, Rio Canoas drainage, upper Rio Uruguai basin, southern Brazil. The collecting sites were typical mountain rivers draining the Serra Geral, with fast flowing waters. The species was found close to the riverbank, buried below marginal vegetation (Costa, W. J. E. M., C. R. M. Feltrin and A. M. Katz 2020). Diet: will feed on most aquarium fare such as tablet, frozen and live foods. Etymology: From the Latin, the name flavopicta (painted with yellow) refers to the characteristic colouration of this new species, with yellow marks over dark brown ground. |
