New species found from the Rio Negro.
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
Daniel

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

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.

That one is a L177, was assuming nobody would take him for an peckoltia, so I left out any remarks for him Re: New Peckoltia species from the Rio Negro.
