Identity and locality

Peckoltia vittata (Steindachner, 1881)

Diagnostic evidence and naming

Older named Peckoltia vittata is associated with L015. Different from Tapajós L134 Peckoltia compta, which has a pale stripe inside dark longitudinal snout bars; not safe to mix based on common names Candy Stripe versus Leopard Frog.

Breeding and genetics limitations

Cave breeding evidence and parameters need genus-specific firsthand breeder report rather than inferring from L134.
