Acanthicus hystrix

Acanthicus hystrix, the lyre-tail pleco,[2] is a species of armored catfish native to the Amazon, Tocantins–Araguaia and Orinoco basins.[1] It is typically found at various depths on a rock or rock–gravel bottom in the main channel of rivers in places with moderate to strong current,[1] although it also occurs in slow currents.[2] The species is occasionally seen in the aquarium trade, but its adult size and territorially aggressive behavior means that a very large tank is required.[2]
