Carnegiella myersiPygmy Hatchetfish
Gasteropelecidae · Fernandez-Yepes, 1950
The pygmy hatchetfish, Carnegiella myersi, is a tiny freshwater hatchetfish from the Peruvian Amazon basin, with a second population in Bolivia. The smallest and most delicate of the nominal hatchetfishes, it has a shallower, rounded keel that gives it an elongate profile. It lives in small, shaded, shallow forest streams and must be kept in a group of at least six, away from active tankmates.

Brochis ambiacus
Callichthyidae · (Cope, 1872)
Brochis ambiacus, long known as Corydoras ambiacus, is an armoured catfish from the upper Amazon tributaries of Peru, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador, described from the Río Ampiyacu. Its name is commonly misapplied to similar-looking fishes, particularly B. agassizii, and the colour pattern is variable. Cope described a large black spot covering the front half of the dorsal fin, and fish matching this are far more common in the trade than those matching B. agassizii.
