Sturisoma Beani ???

[ceiji]

Last week I was at an LFS looking for Sturisoma Aureum and the owner showed me these tiny fish called Sturisoma Beani. He said it stays small and grows only max of 4". I tried searching online for these fish and could'nt find anything. Cat-eLog in here also does not have an entry in this name.

Can anyone shed some light on this fish? Is this a new variety or is it that I got the name wrong? Any help is much appreciated.

There's no such fish.

Could he have been talking about

Hemiloricaria beni

?

However, what is sold under that name is more likely to be

Hemiloricaria eigenmanni

.
