Pareiorhaphis Hystrix
''Pareiorhaphis'' is a genus of catfish in the family (biology), family Loricariidae native to South America. This genus can be readily distinguished from other Neoplecostominae, neoplecostomines by the unique combination of having fleshy lobes on lateral margins of head ornamented with hypertrophied odontodes on mating season, nuptial males, caudal peduncle ovoid in Cross section (geometry), cross section, abdomen usually naked, dorsal fin spinelet ovoid and adipose fin usually present. The color pattern is usually dark brown and mottled with the abdomen white. Most species in to ''Pareiorhaphis'' were originally described in ''Hemipsilichthys''. In 1918, Alípio de Miranda-Ribeiro proposed the new genus ''Pareiorhaphis''.Pereira, E.H.L. (2005): Resurrection of ''Pareiorhaphis'' Miranda Ribeiro, 1918 (Teleostei: Siluriformes: Loricariidae), and description of a new species from the rio Iguaçu basin, Brazil.

Adipose Fin
Fins are distinctive anatomical features composed of bony spines or rays protruding from the body of a fish. They are covered with skin and joined together either in a webbed fashion, as seen in most bony fish, or similar to a flipper, as seen in sharks. Apart from the tail or caudal fin, fish fins have no direct connection with the spine and are supported only by muscles. Their principal function is to help the fish swim. Fins located in different places on the fish serve different purposes such as moving forward, turning, keeping an upright position or stopping. Most fish use fins when swimming, flying fish use pectoral fins for gliding, and frogfish use them for crawling. Fins can also be used for other purposes; male sharks and mosquitofish use a modified fin to deliver sperm, thresher sharks use their caudal fin to stun prey, reef stonefish have spines in their dorsal fins that inject venom, anglerfish use the first spine of their dorsal fin like a fishing rod to ...
