''Calophysus macropterus'' (also known as the Piracatinga, Vulture Catfish, or Zamurito) is a species of catfish (order Siluriformes) of the monotypic genus ''Calophysus'' of the family Pimelodidae. This fish has also been placed in its own family, Calophysidae.〔 This species reaches SL and originates from the Amazon and Orinoco River basins. 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.〔 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,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PlanetCatfish::Catfish of the Month::May 2006 )〕〔 〕 although many who have actually kept the fish report no apparent signs of aggression.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Calophysus macropterus (Vulture Catfish) Questions )〕 ==References== 〔 * (Ros, Wolfgang ) and Schmidt, Jakob (2008): ( "Calophysus macropterus: Ein 'Hai' im Süßwasseraquarium", D.
