Rhadinoloricaria condei is a species of armored catfish 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 metres (10–30 ft) deep; no submerged vegetation is found here, and the bottom is made of sand, mud, dead leaves, twigs, branches, and trunks.[2] This species grows to a length of 14.1 centimetres (5.6 in) SL.[3]
Etymology
The catfish is named in honor of zoologist Bruno Condé(fr) (1920–2004), the director of l'Aquarium de Nancy.[4]
