The next posterchild in Brazil’s damning of the Amazon is the São Luiz do Tapajós Dam
Biologists and human rights observers are calling it an epic disaster in the making, a massive river-damming complex in the heart of the Amazon basin that threatens tens of thousands of native rainforest dwellers and the fish populations that sustain them and enrich the aquarium world.
Just when you think the visual delights cannot get any more dazzling, you round the final corner and all the color drops away to reveal a perfectly simple display: a fat, round tank where hundreds of brilliant silver Lookdowns (Selene vomer) swim circles all day, their long flat noses bright against the tank’s calming, blue-lit interior.
After the loss of an epic battle over the Belo Monte project on the Xingu River (the huge dam started operations in early 2016), the Tapajos is expected to become the primary focal point of forces opposed to damming the wild rivers of Amazonia.
Río Xingu is ground zero for what has been called the worst environmental disaster in a generation—the highly controversial, widely reviled Belo Monte Dam. This infrastructure project, which has been in development since 1975, has been reported even in mainstream international news outlets, mainly due to the fact that its impacts will include catastrophic environmental and social costs for the entire Xingu River basin.
The Lower Rio Xingu, imminently threatened by the Belo Monte Dam project, is the subject of a grassroots crowd-funding effort to support biodiversity research before it’s too late.
Researchers are interested in the opinions of the worldwide community of keepers and breeders the Zebra Pleco, Hypancistrus zebra (also known as “L 46”), for a scientific study.

The beautiful plecostomus from Brazil’s Rio Xingu known as L398 is formally described.

Cyanogaster Noctivaga seem very rare in the aquarium trade, despite being discovered nearly a decade ago. I've been trying to find a source to buy some, but all the results are years old. Not sure if they're a challenge to breed in captivity or what.Biota Breeds Neopomacentrus azysron says:
[…] As a group, they are shallow water species, with non being found lower than 30 meters, and many restricted to much shallower habits. Some species are known to inhabit brackish and freshwater areas including Neopomacentrus taeniurus, the Freshwater Demoiselle. These are robust fish. While native to the Indo-Pacific, including one species in the Red Sea, the genus has also made a foray into the Atlantic; N. cyanomos, the Regal Damsel, is now considered an invasive species in the Gulf of Mexico.
