Farlowella schreitmuelleri a species of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Loricariidae, the mailed catfishes, and the subfamily Loricariinae, the armored suckermouth catfishes.[2] This catfish is endemic to Brazil where it is found in the lower Amazon basin.[5] This species grows to a length of 18.1 centimetres (7.1 in) SL.[6]
Etymology
The fish is named in honor of German aquarist Wilhelm Schreitmüller (1870–1945), who had provided the holotype. Although the name is often credited to Ahl 1937, Arnold made the name available in an aquarium publication (Taschenkalender für Aquarien-und Terrarienfreunde) before Ahl's description was published.[7][2]
