Breeder history — Andreas Tanke & L398 (2008)

Breeder historyResearch draft

Andreas Tanke, Panaqolus tankei (L398)

Identity and locality

Andreas Tanke, Panaqolus tankei (L398)

Germany breeding account / Lower Xingu wild source

Diagnostic evidence and naming

Formal 2016 taxonomic authors named Panaqolus tankei in honor of Andreas Tanke, with qualified wording about his probable first reproduction. His own lecture description reports spawning and breeding L398 in 2008, and studying wild localities.

Breeding and genetics limitations

This is unusually direct evidence of named breeder/species-linked reproduction, but does NOT prove he originated a distinct genetic morph, the first global spawning, or the inheritance of striped patterns.
