Identity and locality
Panaque nigrolineatus (Peters, 1877)
Orinoco drainage Venezuela / Colombia; other regional records require provenance
Diagnostic evidence and naming
Current scientific species name for the royal panaque; originally described as Chaetostomus nigrolineatus. Market L190 labels may include uncertain geographically differentiated stock; check localities rather than assuming every striped royal is genetically identical.
Breeding and genetics limitations
Wood-associated feeding does not establish complete wood-only nutrition; use appropriate supplementary foods and document growth.
