Panaque titan[1][2] is a species of freshwater fish from the South American armoured catfish family Loricariidae. It is known from several rivers in the Napo River basin in Ecuador,[1] where it was perhaps first encountered in 1975, although it was not scientifically described until 2010.[3] The species reaches at least 39.4 cm (15.5 inches) SL.[4]
In the aquarium trade, there have been thought to be two forms of fish that resemble P. titan; Panaque sp. L191 from the Caquetá River in Colombia[5][6] and Panaque sp. L418 from the Huallaga River in Peru.[6][7]
As of May 2022, L-418 is the L-number currently associated with this species, whereas L-191 corresponds with a different, seemingly undescribed Panaque species.[4]
