Identity and locality
Pseudacanthicus pirarara (Chamon & Sousa, 2016)
Rio Xingu, Pará, Brazil
Diagnostic evidence and naming
Original 2016 description distinguishes it from Tocantins L024 with dark marks also present on its head and underside as well as orange-red fin rays. Specialist trade name Scarlet Cactus applies to this Xingu species.
Breeding and genetics limitations
Firsthand 2009 L025 account by Christophe Girardet documents cave-guarding male, egg removal and high losses. This predates species description and is an individual breeder report, not a universal care protocol.
