FBname: Slender shovelnose catfish
Comments: Collected from both white and black waters; found in floodplain lakes, small creeks (or caños) to large rivers and tidal rivers; on sand, mud, and clay substrates associated with vegetation (e.g. tall reeds, emergent grasses, and root masses of stream-side trees).  Apparently nocturnal and hide in groups along stream margins during the day (Ref. 40631).
