A smaller relative of the more well known Silver Dollars and Pacus, the Sheep Head or Sheep Pacu is known only from the Xingu and possibly Tocantins rivers in Eastern Brazil, where it inhabits clear, fast-moving waters. This unique characin has a mouth specially adapted for grazing on submerged vegetation, fallen fruits, and biofilm and is also known to occasionally nip scales off larger fish, which may constitute part of their diet in the wild. In the aquarium, they are largely peaceful and will leave smaller fish alone but they may pick scales or nip fins off larger, slow moving tankmates. Conditions in the aquarium should replicate their wild habitat as closely as possible, with warm (80F+), clear, soft water and plenty of water movement.

An incredibly beautiful but huge growing pleco, the L165 Sailfin, Butterfly, or Gibbiceps Pleco has been known by many names in the trade and is now among the most widely bred plecos in the hobby despite its large adult size. As the name implies, this species is easily distinguished by its enormous, sail-like dorsal fin and intricate pattern of dark spots against a tan, light brown or reddish background. An algae grazer and opportunistic omnivore, the Sailfin Pleco is an excellent fish for algae control in a very large community aquarium but with its fast growth and adult size of over 16″ it requires a substantial amount of space to maintain successfully. Most available in the trade have been farm bred and possibly hybridized with other similar species but the wild form from the Rio Negro displays exceptional reds and a highly distinct pattern.

An uncommon and oddly shaped catfish found in a number of Amazon and Orinoco tributaries, Wallace’s Shoehead Cat is named for its unusually flat, broad head. A shy and primarily nocturnal fish, they spend most of the daylight hours in the wild hidden among driftwood or in leaf litter, emerging at night to feed on insects and smaller fish. In the aquarium they are fairly hardy, but will do best with plenty of plants or driftwood for cover. While they are peaceful towards similarly sized tankmates they will eat any fish that can fit in their large mouths.

A unique, large growing predatory cichlid found throughout much of the Amazon basin, the Basketmouth or Spectabilis Cichlid displays vivid greens, reds, and blues as adults. In the wild, they are primarily a piscivore, and they use their unique protrusible jaw and lightning-fast reflexes to literally inhale prey items whole. In the aquarium, they require excellent water quality and are territorial, especially toward other cichlids. Tankmates should be chosen with care as they can make a meal of even surprisingly large fish.

The Ternetzi Headstander is a close relative to the more well-known Striped Headstander, Anostomus anostomus, which is found throughout much of Colombia, Venezuela, and Peru. It is found in a variety of habitat types, from fast flowing waters to shallow blackwater swamps. Like most of their close relatives, they are best kept in groups of 3-5 or more to prevent aggression among individuals. While they can be prone to nipping fins on slow moving tankmates, they make excellent dither fish for medium to large South American Cichlids or other fast moving larger fish.

The Elephant Ear Giant Gourami is a recently described and uncommonly imported species of Giant Gourami that can be distinguished by its elongated gill cover, protruding teeth, and large spot just before the tail. In the wild, they feed largely on fruit and aquatic vegetation and should be offered plenty of fruit and vegetable based foods in the aquarium. Despite their large size, they are typically gentle giants, and are extremely personable “pet” fish that will beg for food and often learn to recognize their owners. They are hardy and undemanding but will need a suitably large tank to be kept successfully.

A popular and attractively patterned dwarf woodcat from the middle Amazon and its tributaries in Peru, Colombia and Ecuador, the Honeycomb Woodcat or Oil Catfish is a cryptic species which spends most of the daylight hours hidden within driftwood, leaf litter, or submerged logs. At night however, they emerge to feed near the surface where they actively hunt for insects and insect larvae. In the aquarium they are a hardy species and have been bred successfully, but should be kept only with similarly small and peaceful tankmates as they can easily be outcompeted for food.

The XIngu III or Xingu Black Pike Cichlid is a rarely imported, recently described species of Crenicichla found in the warm, fast-moving waters of the middle and lower Rio Xingu and its tributaries in Brazil. A member of the so-called lugubris group of Pike Cichlids, this is a large growing predatory species typically found in open waters where they feed on smaller fish and invertebrates. It can be distinguished from similar species like the Xingu II by its dark, almost uniform black body coloration in adults and the lack of a clearly defined caudal spot. In the aquarium, they require warm (82F+), well-oxygenated water and should receive regular large water changes to ensure optimal water quality. Ideal tankmates would include many of the medium to large pleco species found in the same river or some of the medium growing Myleus, Metynnis, or Leporinus species also at home in fast-moving waters.

One of several strikingly marked species of Hypancistrus from the Rio Xingu in Brazil, the Yellow form of the L066 King Tiger Pleco inhabits rocky areas of warm, fast-moving water. In the aquarium, they need excellent water quality and do best when provided lots of cover in the form of caves or driftwood. A carnivore, they should be fed protein rich foods like frozen bloodworms, carnivore pellets, or gel diets. The L066 “Yellow” has the intricate pattern of the more commonly seen black and white form but with a more vibrant yellow base coloration. Like most plecos from the region, they will do best at warmer temperatures (80-85F) and plenty of current.

A large growing Doradid known from the Northeastern coast of South America and the lower Amazon and Essequibo Rivers, the Saw Scale Stone Catfish or Rock Bacu is rarely seen in the hobby but makes an impressive display fish for the suitably large aquarium. In the wild, it tends to inhabit open water stretches of river, often in murky ”white water” stretches where they feed on a variety of foods including snails, crustaceans, and even fruit and vegetable matter. The Saw Scale Rock Catfish is often found in the mouths of rivers, including estuarine areas in brackish areas and will adapt well to medium strength brackish water long term. A powerful and active swimmer, this catfish will generally ignore most tankmates too big to be a meal but should be given plenty of open swimming space and will do best with some current.

A large growing and impressively marked Cory Cat, the Bearded or Barbatus Cory is found in several rivers near Rio de Janeiro in Southeastern Brazil. Wild imports are rare, but the species has been bred for the aquarium trade for years now and most specimens offered (including ours) are tank raised. With their large adult size and vivid black-and-gold pattern, this species is deservedly popular for medium to large community aquariums and like most Corydoras and close relatives, will do best in groups of five or more. This species is much more cold tolerant than many other tropical fish, and prefer temperatures in the low- to mid-70s Fahrenheit.

One of the most commonly kept species of Corydoras in the hobby, the Bronze or Aeneus Cory was originally described from Trinidad but this species is apparently widespread throughout the Guyana Shield, Orinoco, Amazon and la Plata drainages, with a number of locality specific variants throughout their range. The specimens from the Orinoco basin are especially strongly patterned with a distinct dorsal stripe. Like most Corys, they are peaceful, hardy, and best kept in groups of 5 or more due to their schooling nature. This species is an excellent community aquarium fish and will do well with nearly any non-aggressive tankmates.

A wild form of the aquarium hobby classic, the Rio Inirida locality is typically distinguished by little patterning along the body but vivid red surrounding the ocellae and in the dorsal and caudal fins. As with all Oscars, these are a large growing and predatory fish that require large aquariums as adults. Although Oscars have earned a reputation for aggression in the hobby, they are fairly peaceful for a large cichlid and if given ample tank space will do well in a mixed community of similarly sized fish. Feeding a varied diet of high quality prepared and frozen foods will help ensure their best colors as they grow.
