BUJURQUINA MARIAE

[CANAMONSTER]

Looking for information on this species. More so what their water requirements are. I know they are from the Amazon River but wondering if it's from the Black, White or Clear that is located in Columbia. duanes Thanks

I checked on the water parameters in the area where they are found, such as the Rio Tigre in Ecuador, and results vary quite a bit seasonally
from about pH 4 to seldom above 7.
I would err keeping them on the more acidic, soft side.

Fast water in nature. Slightly acidic to neutral native pH according to the taxonomic entry that references Kullander's 2003 paper.

That video is worth watching.

I also have some Bujurquina, mine are an undescribed species from Ecuador, found in a similar habitat of the Andean foothills. It would be interesting to compare notes…
