These are the floating meadows described by Kullander in his monograph "The
cichlid fishes of the Amazon River drainage of Peru"

This area is not well collected. So far the only dwarfs known from these rivers
A. luelingi, A. urteagai, and Crenicara punctulatum. This white water river
system is part of the upper Rio Madiera drainage so it's possible that fish like
A. steacki and Microgeophagus altispinosus might be found there too. If you plan
on collecting in Peru more I'd strongly recommend getting the Kullander monograph
listed above.
