Procatopus nototaenia Yabassi CI 02 imported into the USA as part of a commercial shipment ex Yabassi in 2002.
They are a very pretty species, not
variable at all, and grow to 5cm standard length.
I think it is important to point out here that Yabassi is a commercial cop out & this fish was probably not caught at this location. However the above location code should still be applied to this shipment.
