Identity and locality
Ancistrus parecis Fisch-Muller et al., 2005
Upper Río Juruena, Tapajós basin, Brazil
Diagnostic evidence and naming
2005 scientific description reports loss of adipose fin and replacement by a low row of mid-dorsal plates, with tentacles in adults. Different from L159 luzia, which has a developed adipose fin. The 2005 formal description and specialist type catalog place A. parecis in the upper Tapajos/Juruena drainage; an absent adipose fin does not prove a domestic fin mutation.
Breeding and genetics limitations
Conservation, aquaria care and natural fin anatomy should not be represented as a gene-edited selective morph.
