Prochilodontidae
The Prochilodontidae, or flannel-mouthed characins, are a small family of freshwater fishes found primarily in the northern half of South America, south to Paraguay and northern Argentina. This family is closely related to the Curimatidae, and in the past they were included in Characidae. These fish have fleshy lips with rows of small teeth; their lips are able to be extended into a sucking disc. The largest species reach up to in length, and live in huge schools, making them a popular food fish. They travel upriver to spawn, and make audible grunting noises that have been described as resembling the sound of a motorbike. Species The family has around 21 species in three genera: *'' Ichthyoelephas'' ** ''Ichthyoelephas humeralis'' ** ''Ichthyoelephas longirostris'' *'' Prochilodus'' ** '' Prochilodus argenteus'' ** '' Prochilodus brevis'' - Brazilian bocachico ** '' Prochilodus britskii'' ** ''Prochilodus costatus'' ** ''Prochilodus hartii'' ** '' Prochilodus lacustris'' ** '' ...

Local names In Spanish its common name is ''sábalo''; in Brazil it receives the names ''curimbatá'', ''curimba'', ''corimbatá'' or ''grumatã''.In the United States it is also known by the technical synonym ''Tarpon prochilodus''. There are mother species of fish with the common name '' sábalo''; ''P. lineatus'' is therefore distinguished sometimes as ''sábalo jetón'' (colloquial Spanish for "big-mouth") or ''chupabarro'' ("mud-sucker").
