Rineloricaria jubata[3] 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 found in Colombia and Ecuador, in the basin of Santiago-Cayapas rivers in Ecuuador; in the Pacific versant drainages of the Atrato, Baudo, San Juan and Telembi Rivers; and in the Caribbean versant Cauca and Patia Rivers, in Colombia.[1] This species reaches a standard length of 21 cm (8.3 in) and is believed to be a facultative air-breather.[4]
