Panaqolus
''Panaqolus'' is a genus of small catfish in the family Loricariidae native to rivers in tropical South America. Its members were formerly thought to belong to a clade of small-sized species in the genus ''Panaque'', until this genus was separated from ''Panaque'' in 2001. At times it has been considered a subgenus of ''Panaque'', and the validity of the genus has been disputed by various authors and sources. '' Pseudoqolus koko'' was formerly considered to be a member of this genus, although it was reclassified as a member of the currently monotypic genus ''Pseudoqolus'' by Nathan K. Lujan, Christian A. Cramer, Raphael Covain, Sonia Fisch-Muller, and Hernán López-Fernández following a 2017 molecular phylogenetic analysis.Lujan, N. K., Cramer, C. A., Covain, R., Fisch-Muller, S., & López-Fernández, H. (2017).

Panaqolus Albivermis
''Panaqolus albivermis'' is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae.

Panaque
The genus ''Panaque'' contains a small number of small to medium-sized South American suckermouth armoured catfishes that are notable for being among the very few vertebrates that feed extensively on wood. In addition, algae and aufwuchs are an important part of the diet, and they use their rasping teeth to scrape this from rocks. These fish are also popular aquarium fish, where the sound of scraping as these fish forage for food is easily audible. Taxonomy '' Scobinancistrus'' and '' Panaqolus'' are sometimes considered to be subgenera of this genus. Species There are currently seven recognized species in this genus: * '' Panaque armbrusteri'' * '' Panaque bathyphilus'' * '' Panaque cochliodon'' * ''Panaque nigrolineatus'' (Royal panaque) * '' Panaque schaeferi'' * '' Panaque suttonorum'' (Blue-eye panaque) * '' Panaque titan'' Etymology The name ''Panaque'' is a Latinisation of a native Venezuelan name for these fish.
