Brian Scott Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 If I could only keep one fish, it would be a Uaru amphiacanthoides. This specimen was wild collected from the Rio Tapajos, Brazil. I maintain several aquariums with U. amphiacanthoides including one breeding pair (that eat their eggs constantly). Cheers! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U. amphiacanthoides grows to about 10 inches TL or so. Some can reach about a foot, but most are a bit smaller. They are native to the Amazon Basin in Brazil, and a second described species (U. fernandezyepezyi) is native to the Rio Atabapo in Colombia and Venezuela.
