Dolichancistrus setosus

Dolichancistrus setosus[1] is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is a freshwater fish native to South America, where it occurs in the Andes of Colombia. The species reaches 12 cm (4.7 inches) in total length and inhabits high-altitude areas. FishBase notes that the river basin that the species is native to is currently unknown, presumably because it was not originally recorded when the species was described.[2]
