Taxonomy & naming
This is an undescribed form: no scientific name, authority or type material stands behind it, and its identity and range are not documented in the sources the atlas uses. L205 is an L-number, the coding system DATZ magazine began in 1988 for imported loricariids that could not be identified. The atlas files it at family level because no genus is given in the listing. Dan's Fish sells it as the L205 Andes tiger pleco.
Morphology
The listing gives no description of the fish. The trade name suggests a tiger-striped pattern, but the seller says nothing more.
Habitat
The trade name refers to the Andes, but the listing gives no collection locality, river or country.
Feeding
Not documented for this form. Loricariids as a family are mostly algae and detritus grazers or wood eaters.
Mating
Spawning behaviour of this form is not documented. Loricariids generally lay eggs in caves or crevices, with a male guarding them (family-level).
Breeding
Dan's Fish sells it as aquarium bred and raised. The atlas holds no spawning details.
In the aquarium
Dan's Fish lists shipped fish at 2 to 4 inches (about 2–4 in) and an adult size of around 4 to 5 inches (about 4–5 in). These are seller figures.
Conservation
No IUCN assessment exists for this undescribed form. Its range and numbers are not documented, so its conservation status cannot be stated.
