Bunocephalus amazonicus???

Post by Oliver D. »

Hi,

some years ago I have bought some Bunocephalus. Most of them was B. coracoideus, but one was different:

The caudal fin was eaten by a Panaque and is not grown properly. :roll:

I think it could be B. amazonicus?

Did the panaque mistake it for a piece of wood?
One more bucket of water and the farce is complete.

I would say no. The Panaque rasp more than that one.
I have separated them.
