Panaque armbrusteri explained
Panaque armbrusteri[1] is a species of fish in the South American armoured catfish family Loricariidae. This species is distributed throughout the Tapajós river, a large tributary of the Amazon River, with similar populations found in the Xingu,[2] Araguaia,[3] Tocantins[4] and Aripuanã rivers,[5] although it is uncertain whether these populations comprise the same or different species. P. armbrusteri is a large loricariid, reaching 43 cm (16.9 inches) in total length and reportedly weighing up to 1.3 kg (2.9 lbs).[6]
It is a fairly popular loricariid species in the aquarium trade, and is one of the species commonly referred to as a royal pleco, although that name more frequently refers to the related species Panaque nigrolineatus. P. armbrusteri is also sometimes known by one of two L-numbers associated with it, which are L-027 and LDA-077.[7]
