Issue
This species was described from aquarium specimens said to be from the Peruvian Amazon. It occurs from near the mouth of the Rio Negro west into the Marañon and Ucayali rivers of Peru. It is sometimes confused with C. metae but differs in its color pattern. Both have an almost black horizontal stripe across the body but C. nigrofasciata has a row of bright red spots just above the black stripe while C. metae has a pale stripe without any red spots.
