Please Note:

Some fish require the use of a special shipping bag. This price is automatically added to the total of the fish, which is an extra $15 per bag. These bags ensure the fish can’t bust through them. The typical plastic 2 - 4 MM bags can’t handle most large plecos, catfish, etc. This option can’t be removed. The bags are reusable as long as you do not damage them while opening. Small plecos under 8” (unless otherwise noted) will not have this special shipping bag applied.

Distribution:

This form - originally imported as Panaque sp. "Iquitos" - was reported to be from the area around Iquitos and hardly ever seen as an import. With the subsequent import of a number of specimens, a different source location - the Rio Moa at the Brazilian-Peruvian border - was reported. These fish were then designated as L453. It appears credible that a species as rare as this does not originate from the surroundings of a large city, but does indeed stem from a remote, hardly accessible spot such as the Rio Moa. A definitive answer still would probably require collection trips by hobbyists.
