Distocyclus Conirostris
''Distocyclus conirostris'' is a species of glass knifefishes found in the deep waters (3.8-28.3 m) of the Amazon basin, lower portions of the Potaro River and in major parts of the Rio Orinoco. They are typically relegated to flood basins, flooded forests and main river channels. They have been found often when gathering in small groups around vegetation, indicating a social nature. The fish has semi-translucent, glass-like pectoral and anal fins. The main body is a ground-like color with a lighter head. The largest currently recorded specimen is 34.5 cm (9.65 inches). Ecology ''Distocyclus conirostris'' has a tapering, conical snout with the top and bottom jaws being equal in length. The mouth is located terminally. The eyes are located on either side of a bilaterally compressed, elongated body and are covered by a nictitating membrane. The snout contains a uniquely small nasal capsule for the family Sternopygidae. The mouth of ''Distocyclus conirostris'' contains a sin ...

Glass Knifefish
Glass knifefishes are fishes in the family Sternopygidae in the order Gymnotiformes. Species are also known as rattail knifefishes. These fishes inhabit freshwater streams and rivers in Panama and South America. Many sternopygid species are specialized for life in the deep (more than ) swiftly moving waters of large river channels, like that of the Amazon and its major tributaries where they have been observed swimming vertically. '' Sternopygus'' species inhabit both streams and rivers. Many species are highly compressed laterally and translucent in life. These fish have villiform (brush-like) teeth on the upper and lower jaws. The snout is relatively short. The eyes are relatively large, with a diameter equal to or greater than the distance between nares. The anal fin originates at the isthmus (the strip of flesh on the ventral surface between the gill covers). The maximum length is in '' Sternopygus macrurus''.

They are typically found in slow-flowing streams, along the edge of large rivers, in deep river channels and in floodplains, and the genus also includes ''E. vicentespelaea'', the only cave-adapted knifefish. ''Eigenmannia'' are often found near submerged roots, aquatic plants and floating meadows. Depending on the exact species, they have a maximum total length of . They are nocturnal, and feed on small invertebrates such as aquatic insect larvae and zooplanktonic crustaceans. Species These are the currently recognized s ...

Fish Of South America
Fish are aquatic, craniate, gill-bearing animals that lack limbs with digits. Included in this definition are the living hagfish, lampreys, and cartilaginous and bony fish as well as various extinct related groups. Approximately 95% of living fish species are ray-finned fish, belonging to the class Actinopterygii, with around 99% of those being teleosts. The earliest organisms that can be classified as fish were soft-bodied chordates that first appeared during the Cambrian period. Although they lacked a true spine, they possessed notochords which allowed them to be more agile than their invertebrate counterparts. Fish would continue to evolve through the Paleozoic era, diversifying into a wide variety of forms. Many fish of the Paleozoic developed external armor that protected them from predators. The first fish with jaws appeared in the Silurian period, after which many (such as sharks) became formidable marine predators rather than just the prey of arthropods. Most f ...
