Isorineloricaria
Isorineloricaria is a genus of catfish in the family Loricariidae from northwestern South America.[1][2] They live in rivers and streams, typically with slow to moderately running water,[3] in the Orinoco, Maracaibo, Magdalena and Guayas basins (one species in each basin).[2] The largest species in the genus reaches up to 52 cm (20 in) in standard length.[3]

Taxonomy
The taxonomy of this genus has been a matter of dispute, all having been placed in Hypostomus in the past, and some occasionally placed in Squaliforma. Squaliforma is now regarded as a synonym of Aphanotorulus, but species west of the Andes have been moved to Isorineloricaria.[2]
There are currently 4 recognized species in this genus:[2]
- Isorineloricaria acuarius C. K. Ray & Armbruster, 2016
- Isorineloricaria spinosissima (Steindachner, 1880) (Zucchini catfish)
- Isorineloricaria tenuicauda (Steindachner, 1878)
- Isorineloricaria villarsi (Lütken, 1874)
gollark: I don't think that works for the AI unless this situation is repeated somehow. It may not work at all, since you can't actually tell if it is torturing you or not, from outside it.
gollark: Oh, oops, I got the lever direction mixed up, sorry. I meant that if you left it trapped then it wouldn't have reason to torture you.
gollark: And you can verify that.
gollark: Unless it can somehow precommit to torturing the simulations.
gollark: If it values suffering for its own sake it might as well do it anyway, but I don't think doing the torturing would advance other goals.
