Panaque armbrusteri
Panaque armbrusteri [1] is a recently described species from the South American armoured catfish family Loricariidae. They are distributed throughout the Tapajós river, a large tributary of the Amazon River, with similar populations found in the Xingu,[2] Araguaia,[3] Tocantins [4] and Aripuanã rivers;[5] although it is uncertain whether these populations comprise the same or different species.[1] It is a fairly popular aquarium fish amongst other pleco species, and is one of the species commonly referred to as a royal pleco.
