Iguanodectes rachovii
Iguanodectes rachovii is a species of freshwater fish that inhabits the rivers of the Amazon basin. It largely consumes insects, though it will eat plants if given the opportunity, and has a peaceful disposition, able to live alongside various other species. It is often found in groups of 3 to 30 specimens, lingering at the edges of streams near the surface of the water.
