New Peckoltia species from the Rio Negro.

[ridout]

New species found from the Rio Negro.

Cool looking fish! Do you know the scientific name? Something that good looking might be worth considering adding to my tank.

These are the only 3 fish known so far and yet to be described or given an L number. I've had them since April. I bought 4. The one that died is in the freezer waiting to be sent of to a certain person.

Without looking up L#'s, this fish looks awfully similar to many already out there? Is there a reason why this is a different species, or, could it be it was now found in another part of the amazon?

Hi,

what Nick meant was, that its a potential new species and definitely a new morph/form of Peckoltia. It belongs to the vittata-complex, that seems clear. From Nhamunda we already know a similar form, but not from Negro yet, it doesnt have a L-Number either, so its definitely something new to the hobby and interesting to see the mentioned complex spreading over the Amazon.

cheers

I thought he was talking about a Nhamunda Species without a L-Number, yet.

I believe he's referring to the fish pictured above not yet having an L-number.

Behold the tails of my nhamunda peckoltias (the spotted one is a L006)

Probably L477, but importer bought them as L134, later said they were from Nhamunda. Maybe they are something completely different though. Might never find the truth =(

Hi,

as Eric said I referred to the Negro Peckoltia, sorry for being unclear about that.

[nvcichlids]

okay, thanks Daniel for helping me. I hope we do find a nice number and eventually a scientific name for them, they are nice looking.

btw, that is the weirdest L006

Peckoltia oligospila

i have ever seen.

Edit: OH.. i see the 006 now, lmao i thought you meant the dark one with the nice orange edge.. ugh.. i am going insanse..

Hehe That one is a L177, was assuming nobody would take him for an peckoltia, so I left out any remarks for him

[nvcichlids]

I have my moments lol.. i didn't even see the 006 in the tube .
