Bryconops Giacopinii
''Bryconops giacopinii'' is a mid-sized species of freshwater fish in the family Iguanodectidae. It is the largest member of the genus ''Bryconops'', and is therefore difficult to confuse with any of its congeners. With a diet that consists largely of land-dwelling insects, it serves as an important link between the terrestrial and aquatic aspects of its native range. Description ''Bryconops giacopinii'' reaches 18 cm (7 in) long in total length (with the tail fin included), which makes it the longest member of its genus. A close contender is the type species of ''Bryconops'', '' B. alburnoides'', which reaches 15 cm (6 in) in standard length (tail fin left out). ''B. giacopinii'' is a deep-bodied and robust fish, with silvery scales and a well-defined caudal ocellus (eyespot on the tail) in yellow or orange. ''Bryconops giacopinii'' bears a notable resemblance to ''Bryconops caudomaculatus'', which was remarked upon in its original description. The original also notes that ''B ...

Bryconops Colanegra
''Bryconops colanegra'' is a small, slender-bodied species of freshwater fish from South America, about 3.5 in (8.8 cm) long. It has a black tail fin that bears hints of red, and its scales are dark along the back, transitioning to a silver belly. It is native to a single river system in Venezuela, the Rio Caroní. Description ''Bryconops colanegra'' is one of the smaller members of the genus ''Bryconops'', at 8.8 cm (3.5 in) standard length. It has dark back scales that fade to a silvery belly, aside from a patch in the opercular and cheek region that bears definite pigmentation (something that also appears in congener '' B. melanurus''). The anal fin has a broad band of black along the base, which is a feature that ''B. colanegra'' does not share with any other members of the genus. The distinct black caudal fin that ''Bryconops colanegra'' has is the origin of its scientific name: "''cola''-" means "tail", and "''negra''" means "black". This is one way to differentiate it fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Orinoco
The Orinoco () is one of the longest rivers in South America at . Its drainage basin, sometimes known as the Orinoquia, covers , with 76.3 percent of it in Venezuela and the remainder in Colombia. It is the fourth largest river in the world by discharge volume of water. The Orinoco River and its tributaries are the major transportation system for eastern and interior Venezuela and the Llanos of Colombia. The environment and wildlife in the Orinoco's basin are extremely diverse. Etymology The river's name is derived from the Warao term for "a place to paddle", itself derived from the terms ''güiri'' (paddle) and ''noko'' (place) i.e. a navigable place. History The mouth of the Orinoco River at the Atlantic Ocean was documented by Christopher Columbus on 1 August 1498, during his third voyage. Its source at the Cerro Delgado–Chalbaud, in the Parima range, was not explored until 453 years later, in 1951. The source, near the Venezuelan–Brazilian border, at ab ...

Piabucus
''Piabucus'' is a genus of freshwater tetras in the family Iguanodectidae. All three species are found in South America, largely the Amazon and its major tributaries. None of them are longer than half a foot long, with the largest reaching a maximum size of 12.9 cm (5.0 in), and they are slender, with relatively deep chests and long pectoral fins. Their scales are pale or silvery, with lateral lines that stand out. At least one species, ''Piabucus dentatus'', is known to be collected for the aquarium industry. All three species are sometimes given the collective name "chin tetras" by sellers, in reference to markings on the lower jaw. However, none of the species are considered endangered, so capture of wild specimens is not an immediate threat to population numbers. As well as this, collection is not happening at a high enough rate to be of any concern. ''Piabucus'' has a close relative in the genus ''Iguanodectes''. The two are paired in the subfamily Iguanodectinae, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Iguanodectes
''Iguanodectes'' is a genus of freshwater fish found in tropical South America, with eight currently described species. They are all small tetras, none longer than 5 inches, and often have attractive silvery or striped scales, which makes them a target for the ornamental fish industry. Alongside the genus ''Piabucus'', it is in the subfamily Iguanodectinae, which in turn is in the family Iguanodectidae. The genus ''Bryconops'', which is also in Iguanodectidae, makes up a sister clade to Iguanodectinae. Description Members of ''Iguanodectes'' are relatively slender, shaped somewhat like minnows; ichthyologists Carl H. Eigenmann and James Erwin Böhlke both compared them to smelt in general body composition. The largest (''Iguanodectes variatus'') reaches 10.3 cm (4.1 in) at a maximum in SL, and the smallest (''Iguanodectes gracilis'') 4.6 cm (1.6 in). This size makes them relatively easy to keep in captivity, and so several species of ''Iguanodectes'' - as with the whole subfamil ...

Bryconops Disruptus
''Bryconops disruptus'' is a small freshwater fish of the family Iguanodectidae. It is only found in the Rio Negro in South America. Like the rest of the genus ''Bryconops'', ''B. disruptus'' is silvery in color, with a relatively deep chest and a notable set of teeth. The specific epithet "disruptus" refers to the incomplete lateral line. Description ''Bryconops disruptus'' is one of the smallest members of ''Bryconops'', measuring about 6.4 cm (2.5 in) in standard length. The only species smaller is ''Bryconops durbinae'', which reaches 3.1 cm (1.2 in) in standard length. It is similar in coloration to ''Bryconops caudomaculatus'', including a similar caudal ocellus (an eyespot on the tail fin), but is overall a darker silver and has a more consistently incomplete lateral line. The number of pored lateral line scales varies wildly, ranging from 9 to 23. Due to the presence of a caudal ocellus, ''B. disruptus'' bears an outward resemblance to ''B. caudomac ...

Bryconops Durbinae
''Bryconops durbinae'', sometimes listed under the name ''Bryconops durbini'', is a small species of freshwater fish in the family Iguanodectidae. It is the smallest species of the genus ''Bryconops''. Like all members of Iguanodectidae, it inhabits rivers in the upper half of South America. Description ''Bryconops durbinae'' is small and slender, with a large mouth in comparison to the body. It is the smallest member of the genus ''Bryconops'' at 3.1 cm (1.2 in) in standard length; the second-smallest is ''Bryconops disruptus'', at 6.4 cm (2.5 in). Its fins are generally hyaline (transparent), though it does bear a caudal ocellus (eyespot on the tail) that is transparent when preserved in alcohol, but ranges from red to yellow in life. Its caudal fin is darker than the rest, which makes said ocellus more obvious upon examination. In terms of body coloration, ''Bryconops durbinae'' is generally an iridescent silver, with a black lateral stripe down each side underlined by a si ...

Bryconops Collettei
''Bryconops collettei'' is a small freshwater fish from the rivers of South America. It is mostly silvery, with notable green iridescence on its sides, and a diffuse ocellus (eyespot) on the upper lobe of the caudal fin. Before its distinction as a separate species, specimens of ''B. collettei'' were misidentified as specimens of ''Bryconops caudomaculatus'' due to several morphological similarities, including a caudal ocellus and generally similar fin coloration. Description ''Bryconops collettei'' is within the range of 7.8 cm (3.1 in) long in standard length, which puts it slightly to the smaller side of the genus ''Bryconops''. Its scales are generally silvery with a touch of iridescent green, and it has a lateral stripe in various colors: black on top, silver in the middle, and emerald-green at the bottom. One of its defining features is an indistinct red spot, or ocellus, on the upper lobe of the tail fin; this spot is rather diffuse, manifesting as a narrow ellipse or a s ...
