Glass Knifefish
Glass knifefishes are fishes in the family Sternopygidae in the order Gymnotiformes. Species are also known as rattail knifefishes. These fishes inhabit freshwater streams and rivers in Panama and South America. Many sternopygid species are specialized for life in the deep (more than ) swiftly moving waters of large river channels, like that of the Amazon and its major tributaries where they have been observed swimming vertically. ''Sternopygus'' species inhabit both streams and rivers. Many species are highly compressed laterally and translucent in life. These fish have villiform (brush-like) teeth on the upper and lower jaws. The snout is relatively short. The eyes are relatively large, with a diameter equal to or greater than the distance between nares. The anal fin originates at the isthmus (the strip of flesh on the ventral surface between the gill covers). The maximum length is in ''Sternopygus macrurus''. ''Eigenmannia vicentespelaea'' is the only cave-dwelling gymnotif ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
