Biology:Stellantia
From HandWiki
Stellantia siderea is a species of armored catfish known only from the upper Orinoco basin in Amazonas state, Venezuela.[1] It is the only member of the monospecific genus Stellantia, which forms a tribe with its also monotypic sister genus Colossimystax.[2]
This is a fairly large loricariid (up to 17.6 centimetres (6.9 in) standard length),[3] and is distinguished from its congeners by a strong keel on the caudal peduncle and the colour scheme which is generally very dark with bright white or yellow spots on the upperside.[1]
