Acanthicus

Acanthicus is a genus of large, South American suckermouth armored catfishes native to the Amazon and Orinoco basins, and possibly in Guyana.[2] The name Acanthicus is derived from the Greek, akanthikos meaning thorny, spiny.[3] Fish of this genus are known as lyre-tail plecos.[4][5] These species are found in large rivers,[2] primarily in areas with a rocky bottom and a moderate or strong current.[1]
