So, I wonder when we'll see these in the fish stores? There could be some obvious marketing opportunities here. (As well as lawsuits from comic book/movie makers.)

My favorite quote from the article:

The new species was discovered from the Rio Pure in Colombia and two creeks draining into the Rio Amazonas near Iquitos in Peru. Like other members of the genus, this species is small, with most of the type specimens collected measuring just under 4cm long.

I wonder if Kris or the follow on expedition will be able to find and collect some of these in other areas near Iquitos.

I say you forward the article to Devon now, and see if they can figure out where the collecting sites would be. ;-)

Thanks a lot. Now you've got me saying it. And I swear, if I say "Holy otocinclus, Batman!" one more time, my husband is going to take away my computer! :lol:

The last time I was at Scales they mentioned trying to get their hands on some of these.
