Calophysus macropterus is a species of catfish (order Siluriformes) of the monotypic genus Calophysus of the family Pimelodidae.[1]
This fish has been placed in its own family, Calophysidae.[2]
This species reaches about 40 centimetres (16 in) SL and originates from the Amazon and Orinoco River basins.[3] This species is reported to commonly attack the fishes caught in fishermen's nets and seines as well as those hooked on trotlines or gaffed.[3]
This fish species is a smaller Pimelodid, and may be appropriate for a large aquarium. It is an adaptable and hardy species. Tankmates should be chosen with great care as this fish has the ability to bite and tear off pieces of flesh.[2][4]
