The Blue Panaque is known from the confluence of the Rio Ventuari and the Rio Orinoco in Venezuela, and lower portions of the Rio Guaviare in Colombia. These beautifully coloured suckermouth catfish are found amongst the interstices of granite bedrock and boulders that line the waterways, where they feed on periphyton and associated microfauna that are abundant on the surfaces of the rocks.
