Rhadinoloricaria condei is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the mailed catfishes, and the subfamily Loricariinae, the suckermouth armored catfishes.[2] This catfish is endemic to Ecuador where it is found in the Napo River basin. This species can be found in turbid and dark waters, in moderately fast flowing streams, between 2–10 m (6 ft 7 in – 32 ft 10 in) deep; no submerged vegetation is found here, and the bottom is made of sand, mud, dead leaves, twigs, branches, and trunks.[3] This species grows to a standard length of 14.1 cm (5.6 in).[4]
Etymology
The catfish is named in honor of zoologist Bruno Condé (1920–2004), the director of the Aquarium Museum of Nancy.[5]
