This small (maximum length up to 20 cm) knifefish from Venezuela is only rarely
imported and again we were able to obtain only a few specimens. It is a very nice and
peaceful species. The genus Adontosternarchus currently comprises four accepted
species which can be distinguished best by differences in the head profile in
combination with the shape of the mouth.

Like all South American knifefishes, this species is weakly electrical and
communicates with conspecifics via electrical impulses. Of course, these impulses are
also used for orientation. Knifefishes develop most activity at dawn and so the tank
should not be too much illuminated and should contain a good number of hiding places.

The fish feed basically on Tubifex and frozen fishfood. Regarding the water chemistry
they seem to be undemanding. However, soft and acid water should be preferred against
hard and alcaline water. The water temperature should be a little higher than usual,
about 26-28°C will do best. 

For our customers: the fish have code 202782 on our stocklist. Please note that we
exclusively supply the wholesale trade.

Lexicon: Adontosternarchus: ancient Greek, means "Sternarchus without teeth";
Sternarchus is another genus of knifefish. clarkae: dedication name for Ms. Kate
Clark, who was the first collector of the species.

Suggestion of a common name: Marbled Knifefish

The magnificent Panaque species which belong to the P.-nigrolineatus-complex are much
sought for ornamental fishes. All species seem to become around 40 cm long. One of
the most spectacular ones originates from Peru and received the L-number 418.
Characteristic features of the fish, which is called Shampupa by the exporters, is
the broad light band in the caudal fin und the turquoise-green basic coloration.

Shampupa is a very rare fish and available only in very limited numbers. Like all
Panaque, it is a specialized feeder that feeds in the wild almost exclusively on dead
wood. So it is absolutely necessary to decorate a Panaque tank with lots of roots.
However, the fish take in captivity also a lot of different types of regular
fishfood.

that we exclusively supply on the wholesale trade.

Lexikon: Panaque: derived from the native name for P. nigrolineatus in Venezuela.
