Identity and locality
Pseudacanthicus cf. leopardus L427 (provisional)
Rio Jatapu, Brazilian Amazon basin
Diagnostic evidence and naming
Specialist account traces L427 to DATZ November 2009. Juveniles resemble L114 from Demini but may darken greatly as adults; L600 commercial usage for P. leopardus must not be collapsed with this provisional regional L427. A separate specialist L-number account documents L427 from Rio Jatapu, Uatumã drainage, published in DATZ November 2009; its juvenile markings resemble L114 while mature animals may darken. A dated captive breeding account is not evidence that a named breeder originally created this wild trade form.
Breeding and genetics limitations
A darkening fish is not necessarily new captive-selected morph. Original breeder and genetic distinctness unverified.
