EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored steel engraving depicts the Pink-tailed Chalceus, scientifically known as Chalceus macrolepidotus, a large-scaled catfish native to the tropical waters of South America. The engraving is based on an illustration by James Stewart and was produced by W.H. Lizars for Robert Schomburgk's "Fishes of Guiana," published as part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ichthyology in Edinburgh in 1841. The Pink-tailed Chalceus, also known as the Large-scaled Pinktail or the Macrolepidotus Pinktail, is a popular aquarium fish due to its vibrant coloration and distinctive pink tail fin. This catfish can be found in various rivers and tributaries of the Amazon and Orinoco basins, where it plays an essential role in the ecosystem as both a predator and a food source for larger fish. The Pink-tailed Chalceus is an omnivorous species, feeding on a variety of organisms, including algae, plants, crustaceans, and small fish. Its large scales provide protection against predators, and its long, adipose fin helps it maneuver through the murky waters of its natural habitat. This beautiful engraving not only showcases the intricate details of the Pink-tailed Chalceus but also highlights the exceptional artistry of the illustrator and engraver. The hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning addition to any collection of natural history prints or aquarium enthusiasts' displays.
