Aspredo aspredo is the only species of banjo catfish (order Siluriformes) in the genus Aspredo .[2]
This species originates from the lower portions of rivers from Venezuela to northern Brazil .[2] It occurs in the Orinoco delta, through the Guianas , to the Amazon River to the island of Trinidad .[3]
A. aspredo is the largest species of aspredinid, reaching about 38.3 centimetres (15.1 in ) SL .[4] [5] The maxillary barbels are attached to the head, the colouration is uniform without any pattern of dark saddles, and the unculiferous tubercles present in other aspredinids are highly reduced.[3]
A. aspredo is a benthic fish that is found on sandy-muddy bottoms in turbid waters in coastal river mouths where it can be found in brackish waters .[5] However, it appears to enter further into fresh water than its relatives.[3] This species practices an unusual method of incubation of the eggs , attaching them to the underside of the female who then carries them around. Reproduction is believed to occur in the early part of the year.[5]
