Abstract:

Neblinichthys peniculatus is described from specimens collected in the rÃ*o Carapo (rÃ*o Paragua - rÃ*o Caroni drainage), which drains the southern flank of Cerro Guaiquinima in southeastern Venezuela. Neblinichthys peniculatus differs from all congeners by having mottling on the caudal peduncle consisting of dark spots and dashes (vs. caudal peduncle all about the same color or light below and dark above) and by having spots on the head (spots less conspicuous in nuptial males as the head is darker; vs. no spots). Uniquely among Neblinichthys for which nuptial males are known, the hypertrophied odontodes on the snout
are rather short, none as large as the eye diameter.

Leider immernoch unbekannt in der Aquaristik, die ganze Gattung.

Und jetzt auch in der Datenbank. Anhand der Bilder kann man den Geschlechtsunterschied gut ausmachen, was aber eh ziemlich einfach ist in dieser Gattung: Neblinichthys peniculatus (https://www.l-welse.com/reviewpost/showproduct.php?product=1904)
