named after Prof. Dr. Peter Weygoldt

in ' aquarien magazine, special print from the year 1982, issue 1 January ' he writes:

... My animals were collected in the area around Serra do Navio in the center of the Brazilian state of Amapá, about 200 kilometers south of French Guyana. They live here in the undisturbed tropical rainforest at a height of 100 to 400 meters, and the animals are kept only along rapidly flowing, clear mountain streams. That is why they are known by the local population under the name Garimpeiro. Garimpeiros are gold and diamonds, often followed by streams, to reach the interior of the rainforest or the mountain forests. Finding the animals is not easy; only a few are running around, looking for food or drinking water on the banks of the river. Most sit near their caves, under cotton roots or in hollow tree trunks, and disappear into danger at inaccessible depths. ...

... The D. tinctorius from Serra do Navio are usually black with only traces of blue rings or lines and a conspicuously yellow or gelborange colored spine drawing. Also such animals are very beautiful, especially if they still have yellow legs. Some animals are broadly blue on the sides and legs, and seldom does one find individuals whose backs are almost entirely yellow except for a few black breakthroughs. ...

Prof. Dr. Weygoldt collected his animals on two expeditions in 1980 and brought them to Germany. He kept them for several years and increased them.

It is unclear today, where and who still has an original 'Weygoldt' tinctorius - and whether after 1980 further animals from the area of ​​Serra do Navio found their way into terraria.

What is striking is the incredible variation in coloring, which often leads to the assumption that this morph is a bastard.
