Porthole Catfish
Dianema urostriata
Animalia›Chordata›Actinopterygii›Siluriformes›Callichthyidae
📍 Rio Negro & Rio Madeira, Brazil
Graceful, whiskered catfish with a row of dark spots along the lateral line and a striking black-and-white striped tail. A mid-water swimmer unlike most callichthyids. Peaceful and active in groups.
