It's known only by the code L519 and by its honeycomb pattern, which is different on every fish. It comes from the Río Iténez in Bolivia - the same border river the Brazilians call the Guaporé - and it reached the hobby in an unusual way. A handful were collected on a private expedition around 2018, bred out, and that was it. Because Bolivia has no commercial ornamental-fish export, essentially every L519 in the trade descends from that small founding group.\u003csup\u003e\u003ca style=\"font-family: 'Jost',sans-serif; font-size: 9px; color: #a09488; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"#ref1\"\u003e1\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e No wild pipeline is drawing on the river to supply demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: 'Jost',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; line-height: 1.8; color: #1e2d45; margin: 0 0 13px 0 !important;\"\u003eThat's the good news and the catch at once.
