  • Tatauaia Payara (Hydrolycus tatauaia)

    Tatauaia Payara (Hydrolycus tatauaia)

    Price range: $59.99 through $179.99

    A large predatory characin found throughout much of the Amazon basin, the Tatauaia or blackfin Payara tends to inhabit waters with moderate to strong current in the wild. With their unique, flattened body shape, they spend most of their time hanging motionless against the direction of the water flow, waiting for prey to drift by. They use lightning-fast reflexes and their namesake saber-like teeth to grab hold of their prey, which can be fish up to half their own size. In the aquarium, payara often require live foods – at least at first – and do best in well-oxygenated water with plenty of water movement.
