Chilodus Punctatus - These fish have an elongated greenish/brown body with rows of delicate brown spots and silvery throats and bellies.

Found in South America, these fish are somewhat shy and would prefer less boisterous tankmates and places to hide. Best kept in at least a trio, they may argue amongst themselves when kept in a group but rarely injure each other (all bark and no bite!) They are named headstanders as they spend a lot of their time practically vertical and staring at the ground.
